Family-Centered Casework Practice

A family-centered approach to casework practice involves helping families with children strengthen family functioning and address challenges that may threaten family stability. Focusing on strengths begins with the family assessment and should continue throughout the case planning and management process. A number of resources are available through this website for caseworkers to provide culturally competent services and to improve skills and processes for working with families in a way that identifies and builds upon strengths.
