"The Family Partnership Process: Engaging and Goal-Setting with Families" explores how strong partnerships can positively influence the goals families set in the Family Partnership Process. This guide recommends "Seven Steps for Setting and Reaching Goals with Families" and will help program staff: (1) learn about families and their evolving strengths, challenges, and priorities; (2) build trust to establish and maintain positive goal-oriented relationships; (3) engage families in effective goal-setting; and (4) gain sufficient and meaningful information to complete a Family Partnership Plan. The guide explores family goal-setting with individual families during each phase of the Family Partnership Process. These phases include recruitment and enrollment, family assessment, communication, goal-setting, and the follow-up and review of family progress. Finally, the guide describes how programs can use aggregate (summarized) data from the Family Partnership Plans of all of the families in a program for continuous improvement and program planning.
