This registration is for the workshop at John XXIII Pastoral Center in Charleston from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 11th, 2013.

National research shows that these factors reduce child abuse and neglect by providing parents with what they need to parent effectively, even under stress.
- Participants will receive training & CD-ROM toolkits to immediately begin making low-cost & no-cost changes to programs, and provide staff with everyday strategies to build Circles of Caring.
- Participants will also receive a Strengthening Families Tote Bag and Toolkit that includes resource guides, and materials to demonstrate protective factors to families and community members.
