Our Clients

At Be Strong Families, we have deep learned and lived experiences and specific expertise fostering the leadership of:

  • School leaders and family support professionals working to improve their partnerships with parents

  • Child welfare administrators and front-line staff and parents and youth with child welfare involvement in residential and foster care and alumni

  • Community violence prevention staff and parents in high-need, urban communities

  • Early childhood program staff – both center- and home-based providers – and parents, including Head Start parents – in both urban and rural settings

The following organizations have partnered with Be Strong Families on training and consulting services. Active links describe the work we have done with them. While many projects have focused on integrating Cafes as a parent engagement and education and support strategy, our reach goes way beyond Cafes and includes many aspects of quality practice.
