The family support movement seeks to strengthen and empower families, neighborhoods, and communities so that they can foster the optimal development of children, youth, and adult family members. As an organization, Family Support America will actively model the mutually respectful relationships valued by the family support movement. In all its work, Family Support America will be responsive to the diversity of ethnicity, race, language, gender, family composition, and socioeconomic class represented by American families. Family Support America will promote parent and family engagement and leadership roles in all local, state, and federal activities and will develop tools and resources to assure that parents are prepared to actively and effectively engage in these roles. We envision a society in which all of us families, communities, governments, social service institutions, businesses work together to provide healthy, safe environments in which children and families can live and work.
All workplaces have family-friendly policies and practices.
