Family Strengthening
The Strengthening Families framework is a research-informed approach to increase family strengths, enhance child development, and reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect.
Protective factors are characteristics or strengths of individuals, families, communities or societies that act to mitigate risks and promote positive well-being and healthy development. Most often, we see them as attributes that help families to successfully navigate difficult situations.

We work to engage families, programs, and communities in building the five protective factors through the following:
- Parent Cafés : Join supportive conversations with other parents to share insights and build resilience.
- The Help Me Grow Program : Get connected to resources that support your child’s health and development.
- The Lending Library : Access books, activity kits, and climbing structures for enhancing parenting skills and early childhood learning.
- Learn the Signs. Act Early : Discover key developmental milestones to help track your child’s growth and act early if needed.
