Bringing the Protective Factors Framework to Life for Michigan’s Families

The Michigan Federation for Children and Families is proud to be partnering with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to continue to deliver training developed by Federation member agency leaders who have been certified by the Children’s Trust Fund Alliance to deliver the training, “Bringing the Protective Factors Framework to Life in Your Work.”

These certified trainers developed and continue to refine a Protective Factors curriculum specific to Michigan families, adapting what they have learned about bringing this framework to life in their everyday work.

Through both recorded webinars and live training events, family preservation, foster care (including residential treatment), and adoption case managers and supervisors can access this specialized training package free of charge.

We proudly recognize Casey Family Programs and The New Foster Care for their contributions to Michigan's Protective Factors Initiative. Casey Family Programs supported its initial development, while The New Foster Care sustained and grew the training initiative, laying the groundwork before the Federation's partnership with MDHHS, and demonstrating a lasting commitment to strengthening Michigan families.
