Training Description: Research supports the common-sense notion that when five protective factors are well established in a family the likelihood of child abuse and neglect diminishes. These five factors--Parental Resilience, Social Connections, Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development, Concrete Support in Times of Need, and Social Emotional Competence in Children--also build family strengths and foster a family environment that promotes optimal child development. In this interactive and activity-based two-day training, participants will explore the link between these families and “reframe” how early childhood care and education providers can use promising strategies to strengthen families in a variety of settings. This training addresses the following Grow NJ Kids Standards: 3.2.1, 3.3.1, 3.4.1 and 3.5.1. For Grow NJ Kids Programs ONLY. There are local eateries in the area. Lunch is on your own.
