LINGUISTICALLY ISOLATED HOMES
Moreover, many households are FIGURE 12
linguistically isolated from the community of service providers around them. Among one of the most significant barriers to engagement and service is a lack of language resources for families that speak languages not prevalent in the commu- nities in which they live. This isolation may extend not only to services, but also to their abil- ity to connect with protective factors within their local area. Knowing what languages
Linguistically Isolated Households
are needed in your community, engaging community partners proficient in those languages, and expanding outreach and awareness to linguistically isolated community members can open vital services up to every child and family. No con- siderable changes on this mea- sure from 2017 to 2018.
