How do we, as a community, help strengthen families? In this two-part workshop we will learn how to not only change the way we view and approach the families we work with, but also how we can incorporate protective factors into the work we do. The Protective Factor Framework is a research based approach meant to strengthen families and mitigate against child abuse and neglect.

This worksop is great for anyone in a profession that works directly with families or supervises those that do. Both sessions must be completed to receive certificate of completion for full training.
