Through this training, educators will examine how they can protect children from adversity by considering themselves not just mandated reporters, but mandated supporters. The strategies and techniques explored are rooted in the Strengthening Families™ Protective Factors Framework, an approach that recognizes when families have access to the supports needed to deal with life's stressors, children thrive.
