Check with your state or district to see if this webinar is approved for CEU credit!

 

Too much of the conversation about families is about what’s wrong, when they fail, their vulnerabilities and stresses, or whether certain types of families are better than others…

 The Family Assets approach calls for a different agenda!

 Family Assets is a new approach FCS professionals can utilize to help make a difference for families by:

  • Focusing on strengths to establish an uplifting, challenging, and more positive conversation.
  • Describing assets and changes that kids and parents can create together.
  • Emphasizing connection to the community.

NEW research conducted by Search Institute®, The American Family Assets Study, identified 21 Family Assets that are present in all strong families and possible for all.

The results of this brand new study of 1,511 youth ages 10-15 and their parenting adults, offers a fresh, positive, and actionable framework of Family Assets for understanding and supporting diverse families. The study, which was conducted in 2011 and released in June 2012, highlights the power of Family Assets in contributing to educational success, health, and community participation among young people.

Learn how to refocus discussions and engagement with families to emphasize their strengths at this AAFCS educational webinar (1.5 PDUs):
