Event Description:

Strengthening Families is a national effort to build strong families and promote development of children and youth. Today’s reality is that families face tough times, adversity and uncertainty. The great news is that these challenges do not define your family – Protective Factors do! Come learn about five Protective Factors of parental resilience, social connections, parenting skills, concrete support and social emotional competence. Research shows that when these five areas are well established, family strength and thriving children/youth emerge.
