Consumer Centered Family Consultation

Common Experiences of Consumers (and Practitioners)

• Consumers are angry/frustrated with families and don’t want involvement

• Initially, there simply are no family members• Consumers want their families involved only in specific ways• Consumers sometimes don’t go to appointments, and have

nobody supporting them to do so• Consumers are worried family involvement will take away

their own control• “Burned bridges”• People are traumatized (consumer; family)• Families say “no” to involvement if asked• Families don’t know how to be involved in helpful ways

Question:How do practitioners address these issues via CCFC?

Answers:1) Practical engagement process2) Semi-structured consultation

process3) Do the things established via

decades of research

Your program joined the Learning Community.
