A meaningful family vision creates space to ask: What do we want life to look like? Where do we want to go together? đź’­

In a new Skills on the Go short, Covi and Conan discuss how care coordinators can help young people and families put their hopes for the future into words.

The goal isn’t to define success for a family. It’s to listen for what matters most to them and shape those hopes into a shared direction—one that can guide the care coordination process and serve as a reminder of what the family is working toward.
