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!

Thanks for the shout-outs! Thanks for the great work you do!
Evelin, Parent Educator with El Nido Family Centers, is an incredible member of our team. She is truly one of the most caring, thoughtful, and dedicated people to work with. No matter what is needed, Evelin is always willing to go the extra mile and lend a helping hand.
One of the things I appreciate most about Evelin is the positive energy she brings every day. Her friendly, talkative personality has a way of brightening everyone’s mood and making the workplace feel welcoming and enjoyable. She has a gift for connecting with people and making them feel valued.
It is truly amazing to see how she balances being a wife, a mother, and a dedicated professional while still showing up with such positivity and enthusiasm. Her kindness, commitment, and team spirit do not go unnoticed.
Evelin, thank you for all that you do. You are deeply appreciated, and working alongside you is truly a pleasure! ❤️
I would like to take a moment to recognize my incredible team. Every day, they show up with compassion, dedication, and a genuine commitment to supporting children and families in our community. Their work extends far beyond completing visits and documentation—they build trusting relationships, provide encouragement during challenging times, and help families achieve meaningful goals.
This year, my team has demonstrated remarkable flexibility, resilience, and teamwork while adapting to changes and continuing to provide high-quality services. Their willingness to support one another, share knowledge, and put families first is what makes our program successful.
Thank you for your hard work and the heart you bring to this work every day. It is truly an honor to work alongside such a dedicated group of individuals. Please join me in recognizing and celebrating my amazing team!
“The impact you make may not always be visible immediately, but the difference you make in the lives of children and families lasts for years to come. Thank you for all that you do.”
