Training & Technical Assistance
Upcoming Strengthening Families Trainings
There are five family strengths, known as protective factors, and when they are present and robust, families thrive, children grow, and communities flourish. The Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework® identifies these five protective factors and everyday actions that anyone whose work touches parents can take to promote them in families.
*Please note – the comprehensive two-day training offered in November is best suited for individuals who have not taken more than two of the individual Protective Factors trainings listed below. The two-day session features activities and content from each individual Protective Factors session and is intended to serve as a standalone training*
Join one of our free Partner Organization Trainings
Every family has strengths worth building on — and parents themselves are powerful partners in shaping the programs, policies, and communities meant to support them. Through the Children's Trust Fund Alliance, NHCT connects organizations with technical assistance and training to deepen authentic parent partnership, including support for building Parent Advisory Councils, Strategic Sharing workshops for parents to tell their stories with purpose, and Community Cafés that use guided conversation to grow parent leadership and community connection.
Every community has strengths to build on, and the Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) network shares proven tools to grow them. NHCT connects with the FRIENDS National Center for training and technical assistance across the full range of prevention practice — including parent leadership, evidence-based practice, collaboration, outcome accountability, and data utilization — helping strengthen the reach and effectiveness of our work statewide.
