Fostering Resilient Families

By fostering resiliency in families, we can help to create a strong foundation for healthy development and prevent the negative effects of stress and adversity on children and families. One way to foster resiliency is to provide families with resources and support to help them cope with stress and adversity. This presentation will focus on the program, My Community Cares, and its work to connect families to resources for basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing, along with additional help finding resources for employment, parenting classes, or financial management.
