15+ Years of Proven Impact

Built on the Protective Factors Framework developed by the Center for the Study of Social Policy, our portal has supported family-serving programs for over 15 years—shifting from risk identification to strength-building.

The platform translates the protective factors approach into practical, actionable tools for programs serving children and families—from childcare centers to county-wide initiatives. It enables continuous quality improvement through self-assessment, stakeholder surveys, action planning, and aggregate reporting.
