Family Support Network, this training is offered at no cost. Organizations in attendance are responsible for travel and parking costs.

Promoting Protective Factors is a three-hour training designed to equip attendees with strategies to incorporate small but significant actions into their existing practices to help build resilience in families. Protective factors are conditions in families and communities that, when present, increase the health and well-being of children and families. They serve as buffers, helping parents who might otherwise be at risk of abusing their children find resources, support and coping strategies so that they can parent more effectively, even under stress.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this training, participants will:
- Be able to list the 5 Protective Factors that help keep families strong and prevent child abuse and neglect.
- Understand how to work with people, including families, in a strength-based way.
- Identify concrete examples of actions that promote Protective Factors.
