Strength Based Approach to Programs
Strengthening Families is a research-informed approach to increase family strengths, enhance child development and reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect. It is based on engaging families, programs and communities in building five protective factors:
- Parental resilience
- Social connections
- Knowledge of parenting and child development
- Concrete support in times of need
- Social and emotional competence of children
We focus on recognizing existing and building strengths of families, which offers a positive starting point for families. We create a strong partnership with families and support the family’s role in promoting their children’s development.
