TheSystems Competenciesdomain focuses on collaborating with families to navigate and access community resources effectively. ThePRA CFRP Study Guide 2024-2025emphasizes family-centered practice, where practitioners partner with families to identify barriers (e.g., transportation, stigma, or lack of information) and develop tailored solutions to access services. This approach empowers families and ensures services align with their needs.
OptionB(Work with the family to identify barriers to service utilization) is correct. The PRA guidelines highlight that identifying barriers collaboratively respects family autonomy and builds trust. This intervention enables the practitioner to address specific obstacles, such as logistical issues or mistrust, ensuring sustainable access to services.
OptionA(Provide the family with a prepared plan to ensure they receive the services they need) is incorrect because a practitioner-imposed plan disregards family input, violating the PRA’s family-centered principles.
OptionC(Enroll the family in services based on needs identified by the practitioner) is incorrect because unilateral enrollment bypasses family collaboration. The PRA Code of Ethics requires involving families in decision-making.
OptionD(Encourage the family to find support services on their own to foster independence) is incorrect because it places undue burden on the family, especially if barriers like lack of knowledge or resources exist. The PRA framework emphasizes guided support over unsupported independence.
