Prevention: Stabilizing Families Through TANF

'Stabilizing Families Through TANF' showcases the Oregon Department of Human Services' Family Support and Connections, a Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention program. Family Support and Connections works with families participating in Oregon's TANF program to identify their needs, connect them to community resources, and further develop parenting skills. Family Support and Connections family advocates partner with local Self Sufficiency Program offices, which administer the state's TANF program, to stabilize and strengthen families and avoid their involvement with the child welfare system.
