Sec. 12352. ``Family resource and support programs'' defined

    As used in this part, the term ``family resource and support 
programs'' means community-based services that offer sustained 
assistance to families at various stages in their development. Such 
services shall promote parental competencies and behaviors that will 
lead to the healthy and positive personal development of parents and 
children through--
        (1) the provision of assistance to build family skills and 
    assist parents in improving their capacities to be supportive and 
    nurturing parents;
        (2) the provision of assistance to families to enable such 
    families to use other formal and informal resources and 
    opportunities for assistance that are available within the 
    communities of such families; and
        (3) the creation of supportive networks to enhance the 
    childrearing capacity of parents and assist in compensating for the 
    increased social isolation and vulnerability of families.
