The Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework™ is an evidence-informed tool for strengthening families and reducing the likelihood of child abuse and neglect. The framework helps professionals work with children and families to promote the optimal development of all children while protecting vulnerable children from maltreatment.

During this session, we will discuss everyday strategies to help families value, build, sustain, and use positive and healthy social connections. This session will be presented in an engaging lecture format.

In this engaging lecture-format webinar, we will:

1. Review how helping families build and use social connections helps keep families strong and prevents child abuse and neglect
2. Identify key strategies and concrete everyday actions that help families build Protective Factors
3. Explore what it means for families to build, sustain, and use social connections in a strength-based way
4. Share Protective Factors resources for providers and families

This training is designed for anyone who works with children and families and focuses on concrete ways your work can support the building of Protective Factors. Each month, CalTrin will focus on one Protective Factor. Learners can register for individual trainings that meet their learning needs and their schedule.
