Family-centered practice
Family-centered practice is an approach that places families at the core of care and decision-making. It recognizes that families are experts on their loved ones and collaborates with them to develop personalized plans that respect their values, preferences, and needs. This approach fosters open communication, supports family strengths, and promotes active involvement, ensuring that services are respectful, empowering, and effective. Ultimately, it aims to strengthen the family unit while providing the necessary support for their members’ well-being and development.
