- To build on the family’s strengths and the child/parent relationship and attachment, as well as supporting the overall growth of the child. Parent/caregiver involvement is essential and an integral part of this family program.
- To work in partnership with the child’s family, caregivers and other professionals, developing goals and a plan based on strengths and needs.
