The HOSN offers a number of family support and strengthening trainings including the Nationally-adopted Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support Certification and the National Family Support Network’s Parent Advisory Committee Training.

Standards of Quality for

FAMILY STRENGTHENING & SUPPORT CERTIFICATION

Virtual Standards of Quality Certification Training

* Please check back for upcoming training dates.

The HOSN adopted The Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support in 2021. They are the first and only standards in the country to integrate and operationalize the Principles of Family Support Practice with the Strengthening Families Protective Factor Frameworks and its research-based evidence-informed Five Protective Factors. The vision is that their implementation will help ensure that families are supported and strengthened through quality practice.

The Standards Certification Training, developed by the National Family Support Network (NFSN), is provided virtually by NFSN Member Networks in their geographic areas. The HOSN is the only organization in Hawaiʻi trained and authorized to conduct this training. The Certification Training is designed for all management and direct service staff, as well as for funders. Teams of Executive Directors, Managers, Coordinators, and Direct Service staff are highly encouraged to participate together because each has a key role to play in implementing the Standards effectively.

Participants who successfully complete the training received a certificate from the NFSN that is valid for two years.

REGISTER NOW

Registration Ends on January 9, 2025.

An active Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is a cornerstone for fostering meaningful parent engagement, cultivating leadership skills, and advancing program outcomes. Building on insights from network members across three states, the National Family Support Network (NFSN) has developed a highly impactful training program to help program staff unlock the full potential of PACs. Designed to adapt to today’s diverse and evolving needs, this virtual training spans two half-day sessions and provides practical strategies and tools to either establish or strengthen a PAC.

Rooted in the nationally adopted Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support and the Principles of Family Support Practice, this training equips participants with a proven framework for building PACs that thrive in diverse community settings. Participants will explore the transformative impact of PACs, examine lessons learned from successful implementation, and learn strategies that consistently drive positive outcomes. A unique highlight of this training is the opportunity to hear directly from a parent leader actively serving on a PAC, offering firsthand perspectives on the challenges and rewards of parent leadership.

Protective Factors Framework

Bringing the Protective Factors to Life in Your Work, Introduction Course

* Please check back for upcoming training dates.

The Strengthening Families approach and protective factors framework is a research-informed, strengths-based approach that prevents child abuse and neglect by focusing on the well-being of all families and helping families identify and build on their own protective factors. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation funded the original research with the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) in 2003. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation also funded the Alliance to engage its network of state children’s trust funds to demonstrate unique and innovative ways to implement the protective factors framework.

The Hawai’i ‘Ohana Support Network & our team of Alliance Certified Trainers are excited to announce the upcoming virtual training opportunity created by the Children’s Trust Fund Alliance: Bringing the Protective Factors Framework to Life In Your Work, Introduction Course.
