Partners
Partnership is what makes SFI work to strengthen families across systems, communities, and programs statewide. SFI partners on the state level are incorporating Strengthening Families into their work, contributing financial resources and staff time, and building their members’ understanding of Strengthening Families through their activities. Our Leadership Team and Workgroups play a special role in leading SFI’s efforts.
