Community Collaboration and Partnerships
A major component of SFS is the creation of strong community partnerships that improve how services are delivered to children exposed to violence. The program builds and sustains coalitions among local agencies, including health providers, schools, law enforcement, and social service organizations. Through regular meetings, shared planning, and professional development, these partnerships enhance coordination, improve referrals, and ensure that all participating organizations work together effectively to promote safer environments for children.

Public Awareness, Outreach, and Training
SFS is equally committed to prevention and education through its outreach and public awareness efforts. The program conducts community presentations, workshops, and professional trainings to raise understanding about how violence impacts early childhood development and how trauma-informed responses can make a difference. It also focuses on reaching underserved and high-risk communities by addressing language, access, and cultural barriers, ensuring that all families have the opportunity to receive early intervention and support that can help break the cycle of violence.
