At Main Street Family Services, we believe in the power of families and the potential of every child. Our approach is based on the Strengthening Families framework, which focuses on five Protective Factors that are key to family stability and child well-being:
- Parental Resilience: We support parents in building their capacity to cope with life’s ups and downs, helping them bounce back from challenges and grow stronger.
- Social Connections: We foster a network of positive relationships for families, providing emotional support and practical help from friends, family, and neighbors.
- Concrete Support in Times of Need: We ensure families have access to basic necessities like food and housing and services like healthcare and counseling during times of stress.
- Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development: We provide parents with information and resources about how children grow and learn, helping them to respond effectively to their child’s changing needs.
- Healthy Social and Emotional Development in Young Children: We promote nurturing relationships between parents and children, which are crucial for a child’s emotional well-being and overall development.
By focusing on these Protective Factors, we can work together with families to build on their existing strengths, enhance child development, and reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect. Our community-based service providers are here to support families every step of the way. At Main Street Family Services, you belong. Together, we can create a future where every family thrives.
