What is a Family Needs Assessment (FNA)? FNA is a tool that evaluates or assess the needs of each family member, as well the strengths and capacities of parents to provide for them child emotionally and financially. This provides family members an opportunity to sit down and talk, allowing them to explore each other’s unmet needs and hidden emotions. It allows family participation wherein they can voice out their choices and reflections without being judged. This is completely voluntary and may refuse to participate.
Further, the daily living, resources and environment in which the family lives in are some of the important factor being taken into consideration. And after the assessment, the information provided will serve as a guide to determine the appropriate goals and interventions that can be given to each family member.
