Family Centered Coaching

We believe that taking a whole family approach both with our participants and our employees that centers family voice and experience and sees everyone as part of a larger family system of competing priorities and dynamics is an impactful and effective way to increase equitable access to services and promote greater economic mobility for more people. Our family-centered employer consulting can support community benefit organizations (CBOs) with evaluating the level of whole family approach and family –centered alignment in the current structures, programs, policies and practices and consider additional shifts and alignment of services, partners and organizational processes that could make systems more effective for families.

This shift to family-centered practice is a part of a whole family, 2Generation approach and will allow for more effective support for families to increase equity and access to the opportunities that they need to reach their goals and dreams. When a family-centered practice approach is used with employees, it can increase employee productivity and satisfaction, strengthen retention and recruitment rates, address barriers that employees experience that cause workplace challenges, and increase employee health and wellbeing.

Our consulting includes family-centered assessments and data collection methods. As part of this data-driven process, we engage employees and participants in quantitative and qualitative data processes and review policies, practices, and benefits. Our methods include formal surveys, stay interviews, informal data collection practices, and focus groups. We also stay tuned into new promising practices in the family-centered practice space as they develop.

We believe in empowering CBOs to embed strategic priorities connected to family-centered practices into their established priorities and goals. Our consulting services include the analysis and synthesis of all data as well as a presentation and report of recommended strategies that center families in the workplace and CBO.
