Medical models of care went through a paradigm shift to focus on a more family driven model as a core value. The family driven approach calls for full partnerships with families in all phases of the planning and delivery of services and system policy. This presentation will discuss the differences between a medical and family model, the important of family involvement and engagement, and how to foster those relationships related to the Build Bridges Initiative.
