Family engagement is an intentional, authentic, respectful, and equal partnership between practitioners and families leading to positive results for children and youth.

For families this means:

  • Strong two-way communication in their preferred language, with help of a cultural broker or a family liaison if needed,
  • Information shared in a way that is clear and easy to understand
  • recognition of and respect for their abilities, strengths, traditions, and values,
  • active and equal participation in making decisions about their child/youth.

Families’ active role is important and necessary for a successful partnership. Download our PDF for more information about family engagement.
