Bringing the Protective Factors Framework to Life in Your Work, Social Connections
Protective factors are the strengths and resources that families can draw on when life gets complicated. Building on those good characteristics is a proven way to strengthen the entire family and thus decrease the likelihood of maltreatment. Each protective factor is essential, but the most important is what they do together to create family strength and stability.
Positive social connections that support families through the diverse challenges they encounter can help families to stay strong, get through the hard times, and enjoy family life.
- Understand the value of helping parents and families connect to others in a variety of ways that reduce their isolation and increase their social supports;
- Consider ways to partner with parents to help foster these kinds of connections.
- Create some concrete plans to assist parents in developing new and positive sources of support, both in the workplace and the community.
