Standards Resource Directory

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR ENHANCING PRACTICE
The Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support point us to ongoing reflection and deepening of practice for each of the sections. As such, the National Family Support Network formed a diverse committee of NFSN Member Networks to compile, vet, and select books, articles, trainings, and online resources for further exploration of them. They are organized into the areas of practice:
​
Family Centeredness: Working with a family-centered approach that values families and recognizes them as integral to the Program.
​
Family Strengthening: Utilizing a family strengthening approach to support families to be strong, healthy, and safe, thereby promoting their success and optimal development.​
​
Community Strengthening: Developing a strong and healthy community by working collaboratively with various stakeholders and supporting families' civic engagement, leadership development, and ability to affect systems change.
​
Evaluation: Looking at areas of Program strength, as well as areas for further development, in order to guide continuous quality improvement and achieve positive results for families.
