Working With Parents: Strengthening Families

The Working with Parents videos are the result of work from Lynn McDonald who piloted the Families and Schools Together (FAST) program at Beacon Primary School, located in a challenging Liverpool community in the UK. The school recruited 14 families to take part in the American-style community-building program. Over seven weeks, the families took part in activities, such as singing and cooking together, and discovered what a sense of community feels like. These videos show how links between communities and schools can affect children’s welfare and education. Some of the topics include: supporting parents across communities; strengthening the family; the strengthening families, strengthening communities approach; and social isolation and parenting.

Institute for Youth, Education and Families

The YEF Institute has published a new toolkit on Preventing Gang Violence and Building Communities Where Young People Thrive. The toolkit draws upon lessons learned over the past three years from the California Cities Gang Prevention Network, a 13-city network formed to identify strategies for reducing gang violence and victimization. The kit highlights a wide range of city practices and contains eight chapters divided into three sections: marshalling resources to fund anti-gang strategies; strategic partnerships within the criminal justice system, and with county agencies, schools, neighborhoods, and the faith community; and targeted approaches, including street-level outreach and facilitating reentry from detention facilities.
