Strengthening Family Coping Resources

SFCR is a manualized, skills-building intervention designed for families living in traumatic contexts, with the goal of reducing the symptoms of trauma-related experiences of children and adult caregivers. Specific to families who experience  daily threats to their sense of safety, personhood, and future, the intervention also increases coping resources of children, caregivers, and the family system to help families boost their sense of safety, function with stability, regulate their stress reactions, emotions, and behaviors, and make use of valuable supports. Strengthening Family Coping Resources (SFCR) is an intervention model that was developed and prioritizes participation of Black people, Indigenous People, and People of Color (BIPOC) families. Updated 2024.
