Dear Friends,
Mark your calendars and register for the 2012 Strengthening Families Summit! This year's Summit will feature a team from Tennessee, nationally recognized as successfully embedding the Strengthening Families Approach in their state. Join hundreds of Granite Staters to learn how you can work across sectors to use this best practice approach while working with families. CEU's in Marriage and Family Therapy will be offered. Who should attend? Parent educators, home visitors, social workers, nurses, medical providers, psychologists, therapists, early childhood educators, parent leaders, teachers and concerned citizens. What is the Strengthening Families Approach?
Strengthening Families is a framework developed by the Center for the Study of Social Policy to prevent child abuse and neglect. This approach helps child welfare systems, early education and other programs work with parents to build the following protective factors:
- Parental resilience
- Social connections
- Concrete support in times of need
- Knowledge of parenting and child development
- Social and emotional competence of children
