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:
“The ideal of the self-sufficient American family is a myth, dangerous because most families, especially affluent families, do in fact make use of a range of services to survive. Families needing one or another kind of help are not morally deficient; most families do need assistance at one time or another.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
