family involvement
Kin taking part
Family involvement is participation by family members in an activity, process, or institution—especially a child's education or a relative's medical care.
Schools seek family involvement through parent-teacher conferences and volunteer programs.
In healthcare, family involvement may mean consulting relatives about treatment decisions.
Research shows that family involvement improves student outcomes.
