Building Stronger Families: A Compassionate Approach to Child Welfare

Welcome to the Together with Families Playbook—
a transformative guide dedicated to reshaping child welfare through compassion, trust, and collaboration. At its heart, Together with Families believes in the inherent strength of families and the power of supportive relationships to foster healing and growth.

This Playbook outlines a pioneering Relational Approach that moves beyond transactional services, focusing instead on understanding and addressing the self-identified needs of families. By partnering with parents as equals, Together with Families strives to prevent the trauma of separation and to create communities where families can thrive.

Through inspiring stories, practical tools, and proven strategies, the Playbook serves as a resource for child welfare leaders, practitioners, and community members alike. Discover how we can build pathways for families to stay together, break cycles of poverty, and achieve lasting stability.

Join us in this movement to bring hope, love, and resilience to families everywhere. Together, we can create a future where every child grows up surrounded by the unwavering support of their loved ones.
