How can we work with families most effectively?
What does it mean to be a quality Family Strengthening and Support Program?
How can managers, direct service staff, and families work together to develop and sustain quality programs?
The nationally-adopted Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support is a complementary training to the Protective Factors Training Series. The Standards are used by public departments, foundations, networks, community-based organizations, and parents used as a tool for planning, providing, and assessing quality practice.
Based on the Principles of Family Support Practice and the Strengthening Families Framework and its research-based evidence-informed 5 Protective Factors, they have created a common language across different kinds of Family Strengthening and Family Support programs such as Family Resource Centers, home visiting programs, and child development programs.
This certification training details how the Standards can enhance work with families. Whether you are setting up a new program or strengthening an existing one, the Standards provide a blueprint for implementing best practice.
Participants from Programs are highly encouraged to come as teams with Executive Directors, Managers, Coordinators, and Direct Service Staff, as each has a key role to play in implementing the Standards effectively. Participants who successfully complete will receive a certificate from the National Family Support Network that is valid for two years.
The event is free to Children’s Board of Hillsborough County funded providers.
Florida Family Support Network staff will be invoiced for $75 per participant to cover the cost of materials and the certificate issued by the National Family Support.
The training will begin promptly at 9:00 AM. Please plan accordingly, as latecomers will not receive certificates.
