Five Protective Factors offer guide for family strength

March 31, 2020


We know that this has been a challenging time for people across our world, and we are especially concerned for those in our own Central neighborhood, where so many families have young children to nurture and support.
At Promise, we are working to better understand those elements that can strengthen a family through times of crisis, as well as times of success, to make sure children are growing and developing in the best ways they can.
These elements are often referred to as the Five Protective Factors, and we want to use our collective Promise voice to make sure Central’s families feel connected and supported through this time of heightened stress and anxiety.

The Five Protective Factors are:
  • Parental resilience
  • Social connections
  • Knowledge of parenting and child development
  • Concrete support in times of need
  • Social and emotional competence of children
To talk about what each of these means to our families and community, we will share videos and short blog posts over the next several weeks on behalf of our staff and partners. To keep up with the conversation, follow us on Facebook.
