Concrete Supports in Action: Meeting Family Needs to Prevent Crisis
This session examines how concrete supports—such as housing, food, and financial assistance—help stabilize families and prevent child welfare involvement. Speakers will highlight local examples that demonstrate how meeting basic needs strengthens protective factors and promotes long-term well-being. Participants will leave with practical strategies to implement and sustain effective support efforts in their communities.
