Take home messages
- Families can be a great resource and provide much support
- A strengths perspective focuses upon the strengths and resilience of a family member, rather than their weaknesses or flaws
- Taking a strengths perspective will change how staff view a family member’s situation
- Listening to a family member and understanding their feelings and experiences will help staff to respond with empathy and work effectively with both a client and their wider family support system
- Staying neutral is very important!
- Staff should seek specialist help for family members when it is required
