A main focus of Resilient Clatsop County, is helping families become stronger together through a variety of tactics, including:
- Home visiting
- Community outreach and partnerships
- Funding opportunities with local organizations
There are five protective factors known to help reduce child abuse and neglect:
- Knowledge of parenting and child development
- Social connections
- Parental resiliency
- Concrete support in times of need
- Social and emotional competence of children/nurturing and attachment
By providing information to parents, child care professionals and others who work with children, Resilient Clatsop County helps build these protective factors in families with young children and build family strength and a family environment that promotes optimal child and youth development.
We believe in partnering with parents and caregivers and encourage leadership and collaboration in all our work.
