Principles of Family Support...

All APIFRN agencies abide by the principles of family support:

• Staff and families work together in relationships based on equality and respect
• Staff enhance families’ capacity to support the growth and development of all family members-adults, youths and youths, children.
• Families are resources to their own members, to other families, to program and to the community.
• Programs affirm and strengthen families’ cultural, racial and linguistic identities and enhance their ability to function in a multicultural society.
• Programs are embedded in their communities and contribute to the community building process.
• Programs advocate with families to mobilize formal and informal resources to support family
  development.
• Programs advocate with families for services and systems that are fair, responsive and accountable to the families served.
• Programs are flexible and continually responsive to emerging family and community issues.
• Principals of family support are modeled in all program activities, including planning, governance and administration.
