National Human Services Assembly policy brief
identifies National Family Week as a campaign that
can influence systems change
Throughout the year,
the Alliance for Children and Families will promote
programs, ideas, and activities sponsored by
national organizations that support the core values
inherent in National Family Week. These
organizations reinforce the NFW objective to
strengthen children and families, especially those
who are vulnerable.
A
new policy brief from the Family Strengthening
Policy Center at the National Human Services
Assembly suggests “macro” strategies for changing
the culture, from one that may “value” family but
which has practices and policies that do not reflect
that value. In the brief, National Family Week is
identified as a campaign that can help fuel change
and improve outcomes for children and families.
Family Strengthening Writ Large
is intended as a high-level synthesis resulting from
researching a variety of specific topics. It is
intended to spark discussion and from that, focus on
how individuals and collective groups, in
partnership with low-income families, help make the
family fundamentals a strong reality for the vast
majority of families.
