Family-Centered Care Tools

Family Voices has released a set of documents called the Family-Centered Care Self-Assessment Tools.

These three PDF documents (a Family Tool, a Provider Tool, and a User’s Guide) are designed to assist communities in assessing their strengths and indentifying areas that could use improvement.

The tools can be used by families to measure the care their children and youth are receiving. Health care providers can use them to evaluate ways to improve services and supports within the community. The three tools are ultimately intended to successfully build organized family-centered services for all children, including those with special health care needs.
