FAMILY EMPOWERMENT
Family Empowerment happens when the members of a family take ownership over an issue, knowing they can address it with steps of confidence and something can be done by them in each stage of the journey regardless of what is happening. They understand the key issues (through educations and learning), they are organized to address these issues (through having the right skills and tools), they are in a networked of their own design with support resources in advance, because they know most o f the twist and turns that lie ahead in their future.
GET EDUCATED, GET ORGANIZED, GET NETWORKED = BE EMPOWERED
Homeostasis
Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the family’s natural way of seeking balance. The family understands (knowingly or not) their goal, to help each other in life and to keep the family as a system "in-balance". When a family members' behavior becomes disruptive to the family unit, it causes imbalance in their roles and relationships. As the family responds to this undesired behavior, it compensates by making adjustments. The greater the behavior, the greater the required adjustments. An example of a family would be; take a family of four, two parents two children. Suddenly one child starts to present addiction behavior. This draws the attention from both parents, absorbing their time and resources. The second child is left on their own while years of attention, stress and worrying become the norm. From a development standpoint, the second child has been emotionally and in many ways physical abandon. The family system is out of its order and it will likely take therapy sessions to bring the family members back into alignment. This is taught in Part 1 Seminar #3 of the study guide and workbook. A 1.5 hr session with learning video reviews the different types of family therapy to empower the family in seeking the care they need by educating them on what to ask for, who to ask and what to expect as the outcome. This learning becomes their Family Empowerment.
