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:
“We as a nation need to be reeducated about the necessary and sufficient conditions for making human beings human. We need to be reeducated not as parents—but as workers, neighbors, and friends; and as members of the organizations, committees, boards—and, especially, the informal networks that control our social institutions and thereby determine the conditions of life for our families and their children.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
