San Luis Obispo Community Engagement RISE VISTA
 
 
 
The Center for Family Strengthening supports San Luis Obispo County’s system of family strengthening resources and child abuse prevention services, such as parent education support, home visiting services and substance abuse/prevention/recovery programs. In 1988 the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors designated Center for Family Strengthening as the self-governing entity responsible for local efforts to prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect. The Center for Family Strengthening is dedicated to strengthening families through education, advocacy, and by partnering with family support organizations in San Luis Obispo County to provide resources to families in need, protect children from abuse and neglect, and ensure that strong families are a community priority. The Center for Family Strengthening partners closely with Family Resource Center agencies as they connect to families in the community. The agencies are trained to recognize the absence of any one of the Five Protective Factors in a family, which may cause significant stress and trigger potential abuse. The Center has established educational programs and services that strengthen the family and address these protective factors in an effort to get the family back on track and prevent abuses. Working with the Community, the Center for Family Strengthening prevents child abuse by offering programs that make systemic changes in lives of families. And it works. Despite a crushing recession and an increasing county population we’ve achieved a 12% decrease in cases of child abuse in San Luis Obispo County.
