Taking a Whole Family Approach

A Whole Family Approach puts families' voices at the center of solution making and program design. It aims to enable and support whole family approaches and responses to families’ challenges that encompass all aspects of their lives.

A whole family approach enables:

• Caregivers' experiences to be heard and affirmed
• Families to get the support they need to build toward the life they dream of
• Children to get what they need to grow and thrive, and to know they can lean on their family and community to feel safe and cared for
• Workers to listen to families voices and respond to inequities in experiences and outcomes, allowing services to be more customized and culturally relevant.
