Community integration in the CFRP framework involves addressing barriers to family engagement in services. Family members most frequently identify a lack of time and energy as the primary barrier, due to competing demands such as work, caregiving, and other responsibilities. The CFRP study guide notes, “The most commonly cited barrier to participating in services, according to family members, is a lack of time and energy, driven by the demands of daily life.” Lack of practitioner resources (option A) or empathy (option C) may be concerns but are less frequently reported. Knowledge and understanding (option B) is a barrier but secondary to the practical constraints of time and energy.
