Family Support & Education
ECPAC IS STRIVING TOWARDS…
- Increased access to available services and support for families with young children.
- Decreased rate of child abuse and neglect in Adams County.
THE STRATEGIES ECPAC IS EMPLOYING:
- ECPAC’s Family Resource and Support Center is co-located with more than a dozen community-serving programs at the Commerce City Community Campus (C4). This collaborative effort is dedicated to addressing the Social Determinants of Health, employing a multi-generation approach, and decreasing access barriers in our community.
- Promotion of the AdamsCountyResources.com resource and referral platform.
- Dissemination of social norming messages and public education through ECPAC’s “New Family Toolkit.”
- Research has shown that the Strengthening Families 5 Protective Factors increase positive outcomes for children and families including enhanced child development and reduced likelihood of child abuse and neglect. Given this, ECPAC strives to implement each of the Protective Factors into its work and offers trainings for organizational partners on how to promote the factors within their existing programming.
ECPAC facilitates the Creating Supportive Communities with Families Action Team, which is focused on strengthening families and preventing child maltreatment.
