Family Driven Care

Family-driven care means that families have the primary decision making role in the care of their own children. They also have an influence in the policies and procedures governing care for all children in their community.

FAMILIES ETC supports Family Driven-Care through the following:

Family Involvement Team (FIT)

Facilitated by parents, this group provides training, networking, and educational opportunities to families of children with emotional and behavioral challenges.

Parent Empowerment Groups (PEG)

Parent-led support groups for parents and caregivers of children with emotional and behavioral challenges.
