Welcome to the Family Strengthening Network Summit 2022

Greetings, Family Strengthening Network teams!

We can’t wait to celebrate you at our annual summit on June 2, 9:00am – 12:30pm!

This year’s theme is Standing Strong With Families in Los Angeles County — and sometimes you’ve had to be strong just to keep standing.

But, of course, you’ve done more than just stand there — you’ve led families to higher ground. You’ve made sacrifices to continue caring for some of the most vulnerable people. You’ve comforted those in pain who have suffered losses. And you’ve brought joy and given confidence to new parents who say they would have been lost without you.

When things go wrong, don’t go with them. We’re so glad that’s your M.O.!

Is there someone on your team who really shows what it looks like to stand strong? Scroll down and give them a shout-out!

Thank you for your your compassion, your contributions, and your commitment to helping families. We look forward to seeing you on June 2!

Dear Welcome Baby Team at PLCM,

As we come together for our final Home Visiting Summit, I want to take a moment to share my deepest gratitude and admiration for each of you. It has truly been an honor to work alongside such a compassionate, dedicated, and inspiring group of women.

Over the years, you have made a lasting difference in the lives of countless new families—offering support, comfort, and hope during some of their most vulnerable moments. Your selfless care, unwavering commitment, and genuine love for others have not only touched the hearts of the families we’ve served but have also been the foundation of what made our Welcome Baby Program so impactful.

You exemplify the values of Providence in every way—through your compassion, excellence, and service. I couldn’t be prouder of all that we have accomplished together, and I carry forward deep respect and appreciation for the work you’ve done.

You are, without a doubt, the absolute best!

With heartfelt thanks,
Laura Moller-Leon
