Changing the Way We Care (CTWWC) Kenya is working with four local non-governmental and faith-based organizations in the western part of Kenya and on the coast to strengthen family based care for children with an aim to prevent child-family separation and increase family-based alternatives for those that are separated.
The support received by families is largely provided by community-level workforce including skilled and trusted volunteers who work directly with families to understand the challenges that they face and the strengths upon which they can build.
This brief describes the family strengthening approach and the people who work with families and children. It shares reflections from facilitators of parenting sessions and the caregivers, themselves.
