在英国社会服务负担过重之际，一般实践中的家庭支持提供了一种填补缺口的方法。在 WellFamily 项目中，一名“家庭支持协调员”在伦敦哈克尼的一家全科诊所工作。前 18 个月里，她接待了 113 名客户。评估是通过对这些客户样本和专业工作者进行半结构化访谈而进行的。受访者的评论表明家庭支持受到重视。普通实习基地方便、无污名化。通过采取积极主动的方法，该项目能够与以前“漏网”的客户合作。一些接受采访的专业人士本来希望提供同样的帮助，但由于时间和其他限制而无法这样做。通过一般做法提供的家庭支持受到弱势家庭的好评。尽管与健康探访者和社会工作者的职权范围有重叠，但协调员的受保护时间和独立性使客户能够获得他们想要的帮助。现在需要评估该策略的可复制性。
At a time when social services are overburdened in Britain, family support in general practice offers one way to fill the gap. In the WellFamily Project, a 'family support coordinator' worked within a general practice in Hackney, London. In the first eighteen months she saw 113 clients. Evaluation was by semistructured interviews with a sample of these clients and with professional workers.Comments from those interviewed indicate that the family support was valued. The general practice base was convenient and non-stigmatizing. By adopting a proactive approach, the project was able to work with clients who had previously 'slipped through the net'. Some of the professionals interviewed would have liked to provide the same help, but were unable to do so because of time and other constraints.Family support provided through general practice was well received by vulnerable families. Although there was overlap with the remit of health visitors and social workers, the protected time and the independence of the coordinator enabled clients to obtain the help they wanted. The replicability of this strategy now needs to be assessed.
