At Family Support Center, all our programs are guided by the 'Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework.' There are a total of 5 factors, and each has been shown to make positive outcomes more likely for young children and their families.

One crucial factor is 'Concrete Support in Times of Need.' By providing access to essential support and services, our case managers and staff help families address their needs and reduce stress during challenging times.

To learn more about the 'Strengthening Families Protective Factors,' check out this page from Center for the Study of Social Policy: https://cssp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Core-Meanings-of-the-SF-Protective-Factors-2015.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3I5DmbSb4H0yhh0i1nQwOfA3jBqgASLBpqFjN5iUCmalvk7LD6Taiw1wI
