Abstract
The Strengthening Families Approach and Protective Factors Framework™ describes five protective factors which research suggests mitigate the effect of exposure to risk factors and promote healthy family and child development and well-being, specifically: parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, social and emotional competence of children, and concrete support in times of need. Although the Strengthening Families approach is most often implemented in contexts that serve children and families whose circumstances increase the likelihood of poor outcomes, the five protective factors are regarded as essential to help keep all families strong. This chapter will describe the research behind the five protective factors and recommendations for application in child- and parent-serving programs.
