Module 10: Connecting With Family, Community And Culture
Module 10 is about connecting with family, community and
culture. Support can come from extending social networks. Beyond
this, a sense of connection is a source of strength and important
in developing a sense of identity as a member of community and what
that may involve culturally.
A 'social snapshot' is taken that tells the parent's family story
and identifies important people in the parent's life (or absence of
a support network). The social snapshot helps the therapist
identify the people in the parent's life who could be viewed as
supportive and who could be viewed as a potential risk factor.
