Alliance Course Materials
The Bringing the Protective Factors Framework to Life in Your Work curriculum includes seven courses, one for each of the five protective factors and an introduction and wrap-up course. Each course uses various media tools and activities to deepen participants’ knowledge about the protective factors and the importance of this strengths-based approach.
Under each course, you will find specific materials including PowerPoint presentations, audio and video media files, downloadable course tools, and participant packets.
Select course materials in either English or Spanish. Please be aware that the Spanish materials have not been fully updated and may not align with the current English materials.
From time to time, we update your Facilitator’s Guide with new manual pages. Updates may include new information and corrections of identified typos. As an Alliance Certified Trainer, it is your responsibility to print these updated pages, replace the outdated ones in your guide, and ensure you always have the most up-to-date materials and information.

Three Common Threads Run Through Each Course
Framework
Understanding and communicating the importance of the protective factors framework and how to use specific strategies and everyday actions to support families in building them.
Culture
The importance of culture – How culture impacts families as they seek to build protective factors and how our own culture shapes how we individually feel, act and think.
Parents
The critical role parents play in strengthening families – viewing parents as valuable partners in every phase of our work.
