    Empowering Families and Youth

    View Upcoming Trainings

Partnering with the New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, The Foundling was proud to launch our Strong Families and Communities Training Center in October of 2020. The three core areas The SFC Training Center focuses on include: trainings and technical assistance for youth and family peer advocates, implementation support for evidence-based practices, and coalition building and community engagement. These areas equip, support, and train front-line social service workers and community members with best practice techniques and approaches to make an impact in the communities they serve across The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.

Our trainings with youth and family peer advocates allow for open discussion and provide a forum where questions can be answered on a diverse set of topics. No matter which service is offered by The SFC Training Center, community voices shape what we offer. We incorporate these voices through listening sessions and community feedback with trained community organizers.

Training and Technical Assistance for Youth and Family Peer Advocates

  • The Center’s expert Peer Advisors lived experiences help to enhance and support diverse perspectives and ideas
  • Trainings for youth and family peer advocates offer both live and recorded sessions to allow for scheduling flexibility
  • Conduct regular listening sessions with youth and family peer advocates to identify community needs

Implementation support for evidence-based practices

  • Implementation Science Experts to help other child and family-serving organizations to implement these Evidence-Based Practices
  • Expand the scope and quality of the care to those that need it most
  • The Center’s approach to implementation support is collaborative, inclusive, and interactive

Coalition Building and Community Engagement

  • The Center uses an evidence-based community-organizing approach to make sure that the support works!
  • The Center’s use of Communities that Care to elevate voice from all aspects of the community
  • The Center Staff will take part in community events and meetings throughout the City
