FamilyMendersPrinciples
- We respect the family system and operate within the boundaries to promote possible and positive outcomes
- We have a respectful and perspective view of the clients needs and respect the parameters of needs as provided by referring agency
- We believe human behavior can change; behavior is a process that requires the opportunity to learn new behaviors, opportunity to model new behaviors, and opportunity to experience benefit from these changes
- We influence change by teaching people processes of change and model how to be a change agent in their own lives so they have a greater power for positive development for growth within themselves and their families
How do we assess needs?
The needs of our clients are diverse; FamilyMenders staff respects this. From dealing with the juvenile justice system to child parent engagement, our staff has the experience and the tools necessary to identify and analyze the clients needs. An assessment must be from a view point of those we are to serve, the referring agency, and of our best knowledge. It is only from a proper and thorough assessment that we can begin to mend.
