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!
