Posted: January 5, 2012
Strengthening Families: Building Protective Factors (Part 1 & 2)
This workshop is a two part series and will take place on two Thursday evenings (Part 1: February 23 and Part 2: March 8). Participants MUST register and take part in both sessions to receive DPW certificate.
This workshop will provide professionals with an understanding of the 5 protective factors in preventing child abuse and neglect, and an understanding of how to strengthen these protective factors for the families in your early care and education programs.
When parents and early childhood educators see each other as allies in caring for young children, everyone benefits. Teachers do make a big difference in the lives of children and their families. Child care professionals frequently face dilemmas in establishing responsive, supportive relationships with parents. Working effectively with parents is an important contribution to children's healthy development.
