PAC is pleased and proud that the Strengthening Multi-Ethnic Families and Communities Program (SMEFC) has impacted so many people around the world, and that parents everywhere are benefiting from participating in this Strength-Based Prevention-Intervention Program that utilizes a cultural framework to assist parents in raising children to lead violence free, healthy lifestyles.This site will provide program information and technical support, while also celebrating and acknowledging the commitment made by organizations, administrators, and facilitators.

We have focused on the Research Section, as the current climate demands that organizations choose programs that are evidenced-based. We believe the information documented in Program Evaluations, Qualitative Perspectives, Project Reports and Published Articles provides substantial evidence of SMEFC’s effectiveness.

But the power of numbers cannot match the power of people. We have many partners that have implemented the program for several years, some that used other programs and have returned, and new groups enthusiastically moving the program forward. This is all the evidence we need to continue to focus on the vision – a better world for all our children.
