Strengthening Families is an approach to working with children and families to build "Protective Factors" that can prevent child abuse and child neglect. The approach is being implemented in early care and education centers, child welfare departments, and other venues across the United States.
Strengthening Families is a project of the Center for the Study of Social Policy.
Famous quotes containing the word families:
“Women have entered the work force . . . partly to express their feelings of self-worth . . . partly because today many families would not survive without two incomes, partly because they are not at all sure their marriages will last. The day of the husband as permanent meal-ticket is over, a fact most women recognize, however they feel about “women’s liberation.””
—Robert Neelly Bellah (20th century)
