CARVER CENTER FOR FAMILIES
Our Mission
The Carver Center for Families (CCF) strives to preserve, strengthen and celebrate families.
The CCF Framework
As a family resource center, the Carver Center for Families exists to strengthen both family and community. The Center’s focus on families is based upon the Strengthening Families Framework and its Protective Factors, an approach first introduced by the Center for the Study of Social Policy in 2005. To ensure that this Framework and its Protective Factors have impact, the Center will measure its work according to the National Family Support Networks Standards of Quality, https://www.nationalfamilysupportnetwork.org/. The Protective Factors and Standards of Quality are defined below.
Protective Factors
The Strengthening Families Framework encourages families and communities to focus on 5 key protective factors that improve family stability and healthy child development and reduce child abuse and neglect. In partnership with caregivers, families, and community members, the Carver Center for Families seeks to build and support these protective factors:
