This webinar engaged participants in reviewing and weighing in on a new strategic plan that is being developed for the Strengthening Families initiative. See how the plan is taking shape so far, and share your thoughts on what should be included and where you think we (CSSP and national, state, and local partners) should focus our energy in the coming years to ensure that more families have opportunities to build their protective factors.
