• The project builds internal capacity to train staff in the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework and Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 & SE) so we can address home environment and social-emotional issues in kids before they progress.

• This project promotes compassion and resilience for providers by equipping them with new tools for effectively working with individuals who suffer from mental health issues. Providers trained in the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework (SFPFF) learn how to engage families in building five factors that support family well-being and protect against child abuse and neglect. The ASQ-3 and SE allow providers to identify issues that may lead to mental health problems later in life before they progress. Both pieces of training equip providers with ways to reduce stigma by engaging families in non-judgmental interventions.
