The Value of Parent Education

From Washington State Department for Children, Youth, and Families:

Strengthening Families Washington at the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) supports optimal child and family development efforts by utilizing the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework developed by the Center for the Study of Social Policy. 

Research shows that these protective factors are also “promotive” factors that build family strength and a family environment that promotes optimal child and youth development. By providing parents, child care professionals and others who work with children more information about these protective factors, we can help build these protective factors in families
