Why would a Parent Partner share progress notes related to the family with the family being served?

Sharing progress notes with the family being served is crucial for fostering engagement and collaboration in the development of strategies for improvement. When a Parent Partner provides these notes, it enhances transparency and helps family members understand their situation, which can empower them.

This approach also supports the family's active participation in the planning and implementation of strategies aimed at achieving positive outcomes. By involving the family in discussions about their progress, the Parent Partner encourages shared decision-making, which can lead to more effective and personalized support. Engaging the family in this way helps build trust and strengthens the therapeutic alliance, ultimately leading to better results in the family's journey toward improvement.

While maintaining confidentiality, complying with regulations, and documenting requests for funding are all important considerations in the context of family services, the primary purpose of sharing progress notes is to directly involve the family in their own growth and strategy development.
