Modern thinking about children's health, as embodied in the framework of the
World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning,
Disability and Health - Child and Youth Version, requires that we be attentive to
the 'context' of children's lives, namely their families and the well-being of
their families. Family-centred services provide both a guide to the 'processes'
of service by service providers and measurable evidence-based outcomes that link
better 'processes' with better parental 'outcomes'. This brief paper provides an
overview of these topics, arguing that the themes we address in services, and the
way we do that, can have important effects on families, and by extension, on
their children.
