Family Support
The CSC Family Support staff support community-based family serving organizations that promote child and family well-being in effective service delivery. We work closely with Pennsylvania Children’s Trust Fund grantees to provide monitoring and technical assistance. Team members offer implementation support to Parents as Teachers evidence-based home visiting programs.
The staff promote the Strengthening Families™ Protective Factors Framework and facilitate the Pennsylvania Strengthening Families™ Leadership Team. As champions for families, we support local programs in their delivery of strength-oriented programs that provide environments for families to build protective factors, keeping their families strong and encouraging leadership opportunities for parent participation in their community’s programs. We are active in multiple collaborative efforts that share our passion for family support.
Our webinars and monthly News Briefs are posted below.
