SUMMARY:Stabilizing Housing for Families of Children Who Experience Mental Health and/or Substance Use Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Homeless and Housing Resource Center (HHRC) and National Family Support Technical Assistance Center (NFSTAC) \nChildhood is a crucial time for brain development and disruptions during these key stages can have a lasting negative impact. According to the National Center on Family Homelessness\, approximately 1 in 45 children experiences homelessness every year. Contributing factors include traumatic stress\, mental health challenges (especially depression) and substance use. To further complicate matters\, the experience of homelessness itself is considered a traumatic experience and is likely to exacerbate symptoms of mental illness and addiction in both children and adults. \nFamilies who have children of any age living with them who experience mental health and/or substance use challenges are more likely than others to experience homelessness. Additionally\, during times of stress or crisis\, children are less likely to be engaged in mental health and substance use support services – times when they and their families need help the most. Often\, these children may act out by being loud or engaging in destructive behavior while symptomatic on the property. These behaviors may result in families facing eviction and homelessness. \nIn this 2-part series presented by the Homeless and Housing Resource Center (HHRC) and National Family Support Technical Assistance Center (NFSTAC)\, we will share important information about family homelessness and the supports available to help families regain housing stability. Our goal is to equip parents/caregivers\, the family peer support workforce and mental health and substance use professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to assist families who experiencing homelessness and/or to protect them from this traumatic experience before it occurs. \nRegister here>>

SUMMARY:An Overview of the Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support
DESCRIPTION:National Family Support Network \nWhat does it mean to be a quality Family Strengthening and Support Program? \n\n\nWhat common language can we use for working effectively with families? \nHow can Programs use the Standards to advance Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion? \nIn 2020\, the National Family Support Network conducted a review and revision process to update the nationally-adopted Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support\, engaging its Member Networks across the United States\, parent leaders\, and representatives of Family Strengthening and Support organizations in Canada\, to provide input and feedback. The thoroughly revised Standards reflect an enhanced focused on diversity\, equity\, and inclusion and addressing community conditions that impact families’ healthy development. \nBased on the Principles of Family Support Practice and the Strengthening Families Framework and its research-based evidence-informed 5 Protective Factors\, the Standards have created a common language across different kinds of Family Strengthening and Family Support programs such as Family Resource Centers\, home visiting programs\, and child development programs. They are used as a tool for planning\, providing\, and assessing quality practice by public departments\, foundations\, networks\, community-based organizations\, and families. \nThe Standards address 5 critical areas of practice for any Program or individual working with families – Family Centeredness\, Family Strengthening\, Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, Community Strengthening\, and Evaluation – with 15 Standards\, each with Foundational and High Quality Indicators and implementation examples. The Standards and all their implementation tools are available for free download here. \nMore than 10\,700 people have successfully completed the Standards Certification Training in 28 states and the District of Columbia. Many more have been introduced to them through conferences\, webinars\, and downloading them online. \nRecommended Participants: \nNational\, state\, and local policymakers\, public departments\, Children’s Trust Fund staff\, private funders\, Family Support and Strengthening Network leaders and representatives\, Family Support and Strengthening Program management staff. \nRegister here >> \n

SUMMARY:Developing Family Resource Center Networks: Where Do We Start?
DESCRIPTION:National Family Support Network \n\nWhat are the steps for developing a Network of Family Resource Centers?\nHow can public and private funders and/or community-based organizations support families in their city\, county\, or state by developing a Network of Family Resource Centers?\nWhat resources are available to support the development of these Networks?\n\nFamily Resource Center Networks have emerged across the country in cities\, counties\, and states as an effective means of ensuring coordinated quality support for families.  These Networks connect\, organize\, and support Family Resource Centers.  Serving as the backbone entity to leverage the collective impact of their members\, they create opportunities for service providers to exchange information\, develop relationships\, build capacity\, and address challenges that no one organization could on its own. \nSome of these Networks have been started by public or private funders\, others by community-based organizations\, and some by a combination of these and other stakeholders recognizing the value of coming together.  Funders have an especially key role to play in terms of resourcing and strengthening the capacity of both Family Resource Centers and Network infrastructure. \nWhether you are a funder or a community-based organization interested in developing a Network\, this webinar will provide information and tools to support your next steps.  The webinar will include a detailed review of two Network development continua developed by the NFSN which can be found in the Developing Networks section of the Family Support Networks page on the NFSN website. \nWho Should Participate: \nNational\, state\, and local policymakers\, public departments\, private funders\, Children’s Trust Fund staff\, Family Support and Strengthening Program management staff \nRegister here>>
