Familias Fuertes, Niños Contentos operates under a philosophy of family-centered, culturally sensitive service delivery. Any service that is designed for the child must be developed with parent/ caregiver input and be at a level of understanding for the parent/ caregiver. When barriers to progress in achieving the child’s outcomes/goals are identified, the service provider will assist the family to try removing that barrier by either providing services and/or referrals to the appropriate service agency.
