The Culturally Responsive Measurement Tool – Protective Factors (CRMT-PF) is an instrument to measure protective factors in families with young children. Measuring protective factors is a strengths-based approach to understanding families’ health and wellbeing.
We’re excited to announce upcoming workshops for partners to learn about the tool and the steps to begin implementation.
These workshops are offered by The Capacity Collective in partnership with Best Starts for Kids.
Get to Know Best Starts New Assessment Tool: Culturally Responsive Measurement Tool – Protective Factors Information Session
This session will provide an introduction to the CRMT-PF to help you decide if it may be a good fit for your program. We will also discuss first steps in the implementation process, from taking stock of your current assessments to beginning to prepare staff and families to use the tool.
This workshop is recommended for partners who serve families with young children and offer ongoing services to those families. The intended audience is program managers or other staff who would be overseeing implementation and have decision-making power around whether or not to implement this tool.
Workshop dates:
- Thursday, May 30th from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
- Tuesday, August 20th from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

The content for this workshop will be the same on all three dates.
Measuring Protective Factors in Families with Young Children: Introduction to the Culturally Responsive Measurement Tool – Protective Factors
This session will discuss steps in implementing the CRMT-PF with your program. The session will take a train-the-trainer approach to discussing administration of the CRMT-PF and will prepare attendees to train direct service staff in administering the tool with families. We will also cover how to analyze and interpret the results from the CRMT-PF at the individual family level and programmatic level.
This workshop is recommended for partners who have previously attended a CRMT-PF information session and are ready to implement the tool with their programs. The intended audience is program managers or other staff who would be in charge of overseeing implementation and/or training home visiting staff in administering the tool.
Workshop dates:
- Thursday, June 27th from 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
- Monday, September 16th from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
