Comprehensive family assessment is guided by practical principles of family-centered cultural motivation.

A comprehensive family assessment provides a deeper understanding of how the family's strengths, needs and resources affect child safety, durability, and happiness. It should be based on strengths, family-centered, culturally sensitive, personalized, and jointly developed strengths with families. The confirmed benefits will lay the foundation for family innovation. If possible, this assessment should include expansion of families and support networks. Many CPS organizations use families gathering and making decisions and using family decision-making meetings planned with service agencies. These meetings may include larger, usually informal, networks, usually involving both guardians and parents other than parents.
