Becoming Family-Driven

February 6, 2007, 3:30-5:00 PM (Eastern)

Family-driven care is one of the pillars of system transformation.  But creating a truly family-driven system of care requires flexibility and creativity. At the close of this event, participants will share a common understanding of what family-driven care is, know a little bit about the history, language, and components of family-driven care, and be able to describe the role of family organizations and youth and family partnerships. In addition, you'll learn how other communities have effectively implemented family-driven care principals.
