Town Hall ON KEEPING FAMILIES STRONG DURING COVID-19
​TUESDAY, APRIL 21st - SUMMARY ​

Across the state, organizations and professionals who work to strengthen families continue to adapt to the rapidly evolving needs of families during this unprecedented time. From this week’s conversation on these needs, the following themes emerged:

Many have successfully adapted their programs and family support services to a virtual platform! While it may be something folks never expected or thought possible, organizations and professionals have shown impressive flexibility and creativity by successfully moving services such as Circle of Parents groups, Nurse Family Partnership ‘home visits’, and  relationship education programs online. 

Caregivers are struggling with their new role as teachers and full-time childcare providers. Whether families have one child or many, adjusting to becoming an at-home educator and having children at home full-time is a challenge for all caregivers. Explore our notes and list of resources for some ideas and tools to support caregivers in these new roles.

Supporting families in creating healthy relationships and positive interpersonal interactions is especially vital during this time. As partners, children, and other family members are spending more time than ever under the same roof, creating and maintaining healthy and respectful relationships is more challenging and more important than ever. 

The need for concrete supports remains and continues to evolve. While much progress continues to be made in providing concrete supports to families during this time, the needs remain and continue to expand. 

Please find a detailed record of the April 21st call in our notes. 

On behalf of Illuminate Colorado and the Colorado Partnership for Thriving Families, we thank everyone for your commitment to this work! Let us know if you have any questions or if there is anything else we can do to support you in these uncertain times.
