Family-centered coaching is an emerging approach to working with low-income families that involves the whole family. Growing from a recognition that the interests and needs of the whole family affect whether a child enters school on grade level, and whether a parent can find and keep a job that supports the family, family-centered coaching is working to undo, and redo, how we work with families.
The Family-Centered Coaching Organizational Assessment is a set of tools and processes to help organizations better advance economic prosperity and stability for families. This Assessment is a companion to the Family-Centered Coaching Toolkit, an open-source set of tools and resources for staff engaged in working directly with families.
