Welcome to Family-Centered Services, an interactive computer-based instruction (CBI) course, designed to give you a new perspective on serve the needs of young children and their families. In this course you will learn what is meant by family-centered services as it applies to diverse systems of care, gain an understanding of family diversity, and explore the major stress factors facing families today. We will discuss the theoretical basis for family-centered services, as well as reflect on current research and best practice.
