Family Resources

and
Needs
Resources are a stock or
supply of money, materials,
staff, and other assets that
can be drawn on by a person
or organization in order to
function effectively.
 Types of family resources
1. Human Resources
• Capabilities, Intelligence, and
Skills
Every person has his or her unique ability and
intelligence in a way that improves not only himself
or herself but also others. It is important to identify
the talents and skills that each person has and
utilize them for the common good.
 • Strength/Energy
The strength of a person does not only mean
having good health and strong body. It also
means having emotional stability, mental
alertness, and having reasonable
commitment and positive outlook in life,
especially in work that improves self and
society. Strength is also needed to accomplish
tasks on time in order to play, entertain, and
relax with the family afterwards.
2. Material Resources
Tangible assets such as house
and lot, furniture and appliances,
jewelry, automobiles, and cash
are referred to as the family’s
material resources.
3. Non-material Resources
Time, health, and experience are
intangible resources but are also
important. Without non-material
resources, family members will be
unable to perform their duties
and responsibilities at home, in
school, and at work.
