Family Resource Centers provide a range of supportive parenting services such as child care, counseling, education, mentoring, care management, concrete needs like food and diapers, and other activities that strengthen families and build protective factors proven to mitigate maltreatment. San Francisco\u2019s Initiative promotes a public-health, multigenerational approach to improve child welfare; advocates for tracking data and evaluation; and leverages resources among multisector and communitywide partners. The Children\u2019s Bureau of the Administration on Children, Youth and Families recently recognized San Francisco-based Safe &amp; Sound and its Integrated Family Services model \u2014 a partnership with Casey Family Programs, with potential to expand throughout the field \u2014 as a \u201cparticularly effective, promising approach\u201d in urging the adoption of primary prevention strategies to protect children and promote positive outcomes. Children\u2019s Bureau Associate Commissioner Jerry Milner has visited Safe &amp; Sound and highlights its work as a national example when discussing the potential impact of the Family First Prevention Services Act.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n      <div class=\"embed\">\n        <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"San Francisco Community of Hope\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/0ettp1yR65g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"qff_disclaimer align wp-block-disclaimer content-section\">\n <div class=\"container mx-auto px-0 md:px-5\">\n <div class=\"qff_disclaimer__wrapper text-salt-box text-xs font-sofiapro border-t-2 border-spring-wood\">\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"featured-video is-style-simple wp-block-featured-video\">\n  <div class=\"my-[100px] text-revolver\">\n    <div class=\"container mx-auto px-5\">\n\n      \t\t\t\t<div class=\"header mb-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Bester Community of Hope, Hagerstown, Maryland<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-salt-box my-7\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Bester community in Hagerstown, Maryland, can be a challenging place for families to raise children safely, with a high poverty rate, health challenges and a high rate of children removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. In the face of these challenges, San Mar Family &amp; Community Services began questioning the value of their group home and foster placement services and whether there was a better approach to improving the safety of children and their families. Based on their discussions, San Mar decided to shift their focus from treatment to prevention. They formed a partnership with Casey Family Programs to launch a demonstration project for a new approach to child welfare. Hagerstown is a place where public and private organizations \u2014 nonprofits, philanthropies, government, businesses and communities \u2014 collaborate closely to build a Community of Hope. They focus on prevention with a place-based strategy for positive outcomes for children and families located in the Bester Elementary School neighborhood. The early outcomes have been promising: Bester Elementary was identified by Washington County Public Schools as having the most improved attendance in Washington County, and the Maryland Center for Character Education at Stevenson University awarded Bester Elementary the 2017-2018 School of the Year award.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div
