I attach the most important implications for the family center. The goal of Family Centers is to promote good health and development by meeting the needs of families and other caregivers with small children, which may be related to the following general objectives (Martinussen et al., 2019):
- Promoting the health and development of children
- Supporting parents/ guardians in their role as caregivers.
- Stimulating positive interactions between parents/guardians and their children
- Strengthening the social network of children and parents/guardians
- Helping children and parents/guardians to enjoy rewarding experiences together
- Contributing to early identification and early intervention-Initiating contact between parents/guardians and other service providers as needed
- Facilitating community involvement and participation
- Distributing relevant information to children and parents/guardians-Being a positive community service.
