family-centered
Prioritizing household bonds
Family-centered describes approaches, services, or environments that prioritize the family unit rather than just the individual.
The term appears most often in healthcare and education contexts, where it signals that parents and relatives are treated as partners rather than bystanders: family-centered care, a family-centered approach to early intervention.
The philosophy recognizes that supporting the whole family benefits everyone in it.
