Bringing the Protective Factors Framework to Life (In-person)

Protective factors are the strengths and resources that families can draw on when life gets difficult. Taking those good characteristics and building on them is a proven way to strengthen the entire family and thus decrease the likelihood of maltreatment. Each of the protective factors is essential, but most important is what they do together to create strength and stability in families.

 Participants will:

• Have the opportunity to explore all five protective factors.

• Learn about seven program strategies that help families to build those protective factors.

• Be encouraged to consider and reflect about what it means to work with families in a strength-based way.

• Learn about some tools that will help you be more intentional in using the framework as an everyday part of your work.
