Promoting social and emotional resilience in children birth through six
"It is exciting to see the teachers actually learn how to plan for social emotional development. They really understand now, that when children are having trouble with their behavior, there is something more going on inside."

Strengthening Families
The Hamilton County Family and Children First Council (FCFC) is charged by the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund, with funding activities that work to prevent child abuse and neglect. After considerable research, FCFC determined that Strengthening Families is a strategy that shows great promise. FCFC also determined that the Cincinnati neighborhood of Westwood (45211), being a very large and highly diverse community, is to be the target region for these services. [2012 Program Summary]
