Region I Youth Programs focus upon Family Centered Practice
|
Family Centered practice works with the family as a collective unit, insuring the safety and well-being of family members through developmental services, support, problem-solving, planning and continual implementation of team-focused strategies. The primary purpose is to strengthen the families potential for carrying out their team, chosen by the family for support and assistance in outcome measures. The teams consist of the coordinator (Professional Partner, Care Coordinator or Program Specialist), who partners with families to use their expert knowledge throughtout the decision and goal-making process to provide individualized, culturally responsive, and relevant services for each family. Included in the family centered practice model are an array of services, supports and interventions that assist in mobilizing resources to maximize communication, shared planning and collaboration among the community and/or neighborhood systems that are directly involved in the family.
