Tracks

All three tracks are designed for Family Resource Centers, FRC Networks, and partners working across practice, community leadership, systems, and sustainability.

​

Quality Practice and a Strong Family Support Workforce

This track focuses on how Family Resource Centers and Family Support organizations can provide consistent, responsive, and high-quality support while strengthening the people who deliver the work. Sessions may explore the National Family Resource Center Model™, the Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening and Support, workforce and leadership development, staff support and retention, family engagement, parent leadership, outreach, relationship-building, program implementation, and continuous quality improvement.​

​

Community-Rooted Innovation and Family Leadership

Families and communities are central to shaping solutions that reflect their strengths, priorities, cultures, and changing realities. Sessions in this track may highlight parent voice and shared leadership, Family Resource Center and Network bright spots, community-designed approaches, rural and tribal strategies, culturally specific practices, kinship and grandfamilies, family economic mobility, mental health and social connection, and innovative uses of technology, AI, outreach, and service delivery.

​
Evidence, Systems, and Sustainability

This track examines the policies, partnerships, evidence, and investments needed to make high-quality Family Support available to every family. Sessions may focus on research and evaluation, Family Resource Center outcomes and impact, community-based prevention, child welfare transformation, funding and sustainability, FRC Network development, public-sector and cross-sector partnerships, data and shared measurement, policy and systems change, and strategies for scaling effective approaches.

​​

Together, these three tracks are designed to strengthen FRC practice, elevate community leadership, and advance the systems that support families.
