In the article, Family Resilience, the text states that, “When families and children feel a sense of belonging within their environment, they will feel accepted, comfortable, and confident knowing that they are safe and secure” (National Network for Family Resilience). Start Smart Stay Safe stems from S4’s four cornerstones: Significance, Self-Determination, Success, and Service. Start Smart Stay Safe is community driven and designed to enhance resilience within children, families, and communities by identifying their qualities and skills. My thoughts of the community initiative identified in the article is that it provides clients with a communal support system. The community strengthens the client and encourages and promotes resiliency.
