“…First, the family is seen as a means toward achieving better outcomes for children. Families who have resources and skills may provide a nourishing home environment that meets children's needs and supports development; thus, one tenet of family-centred practice is the importance of forging meaningful partnerships with families (Bruder, 2000;Judge, 2002;Powell, 1996). A second rationale is that, beyond serving as a means to achieving better outcomes for children, family well-being itself is also an appropriate outcome for early childhood services.…”

This study applied three family measures (ratings of service adequacy or implementation, satisfaction with the family-professional partnership, and family quality of life) to a sample of families of young children in one Midwestern U.S. state. The results suggest that: (a) families more often believe they are receiving adequate amounts of services for their child, but tend to believe they are not receiving adequate amounts of services for their family; (b) respondents tend to be satisfied with their partnerships with their primary service provider, with lower satisfaction ratings for the provider's ability to meet their child's individual needs and to provide information about services; and (c) respondents tended to be more satisfied with their family's material well-being and less so with their family's emotional well-being. Finally, we found that service adequacy ratings were a significant predictor of family quality of life, and that partnerships partially mediated this effect. We discuss the research, service, and policy implications of these findings.

“…For example, Laird (1995) described the kinds of practitioner behavior most associated with a family centered paradigm and articulated methods for discerning adherence to this approach to working with families (see also Adams & Nelson, 1995; Briar‐Lawson, 1998). Similarly, Powell (1996) delineated six stages (roles) that practitioners play in implementing family centered practice, beginning with partnering with families and ending with joint reflection on achievements.…”

The relationship between different models of family level interventions and two components of practitioner helpgiving (relational practices and participatory practices) was examined in two studies of parents of young children involved in different kinds of family oriented helpgiving programs. Relational and participatory aspects of helpgiving were found to be practiced less often in professionally centered programs compared to other kinds of family oriented programs. Participatory helpgiving practices that provided parents with (a) choices and options and (b) opportunities to be involved in both solutions to problems and acquisition of knowledge and skills that strengthen functioning were more likely to be found in programs that were family centered. Findings are discussed in terms of the importance of the models used to structure social and human services program practices.

“…Adopting 'family-centred thinking' enables a family to take a "therapeutic pilgrimage" to a more satisfying life (Powell, 1996). Powell (1996) proposes a powerful, positive schema of words, which facilitates professionals to reorientate commonly used language and experiences, to enable families to rewrite their journey. The schema is summarised below:…”
