Community Conditions That Strengthen Families: Protective Factors Work at the Community Level
Center for the Study of Social Policy
The Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework, developed by the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP), has had a significant influence on how child- and family-serving programs operate and support healthy development and wellbeing. Many organizational partners and members of the Strengthening Families National Network are interested in looking beyond programs and services to apply a Protective Factors approach to transform communities, address root causes of adversity, and advance equity and social justice. Some states and localities have focused on broad, community-wide adoption of Strengthening Families, and are looking for more guidance on how best to implement that approach. In order to explore this interest, CSSP partnered with several organizations to develop, administer, and analyze the results of a survey designed to capture the various ways organizations approach community-level work as well as their viewpoints on community conditions that support children and families. This report summarizes survey findings from organizational partners and members of the Strengthening Families National Network interested in using the Protective Factors Framework in their community-level approach and their viewpoints on community conditions that support child and family outcomes. [This work was carried out by an informal Steering Committee of partners, including the Center for the Prevention of Abuse and Neglect (University of Oregon), 90by30, Safe & Sound, Colorado's Office of Early Childhood, and the Center for Public Partnerships & Research at the University of Kansas.
