At this informative workshop, we will introduce you to the Five Protective Factors created by The National Alliance of Children’s Trust and Prevention Funds. These factors consist of suggestions and resources families can utilize in times of need, which provide stability and support. This workshop will give participants an opportunity to create safe and healthy environments, learn new tips on how to improve communication with families, and further children’s social-emotional development. Join us to discuss coping strategies, ways to work with families from a strength-based approach, and more.

Note: This introduction is the important foundation for all other trainings on Five Protective Factors that will be offered during Winter and Spring 2020.
