Description of Role: As a Family Partner, I serve as a resource and advocate for families. It means that I work in the best interest of the family; however, I do not take the place of the adult family member(s). Assist families to better understand the cross-system languages, acronyms and processes. Encourage the child and family to share their opinions, wants and desires, while creating a relationship with them that supports openness, empathy, trust and honesty.
