Family Strengthening Services

Catholic Charities of Idaho (CCI) has adopted the Annie E. Casey Foundation family strengthening approach as "a deliberate process of giving parents the necessary opportunities, relationships, networks, and supports to raise their children successfully, which includes involving parents as decision-makers in how their communities meet family needs".

CCI provides services that include the whole family, employ family strengths, are collaborative with other providers in the community, are culturally sensitive and accountable to the families served, and are focused on family economic stability.  Strong families create strong communities. 

The family strengthening approach is bigger than a particular signature program or service -- it is a framework for helping families succeed.
