This perspective article defines and discusses the concept of the "village" when working with families who are experiencing multiple adversities. The article starts with a discussion on what is meant generally by a village approach, followed by a historical overview of how families living in adversity have been defined and positioned. The need to move past a siloed, professional centric approach when working with families is then presented. Using a model of social connections, based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, we then identify who the "villagers" might be. Some potential principles for how the village might work with families living with adversity are presented, along with two case studies, to demonstrate how these principles might be enacted. This perspective article provides an overview and discussion of "the village" concept, rather than present a definitive set of guidelines or recommendations.
这篇观点文章定义并讨论了在处理经历多重逆境的家庭时“村庄”的概念。文章首先讨论了一般意义上的村庄方法的含义，然后回顾了历史上是如何定义和定位生活在逆境中的家庭的。接着提出了需要超越孤立的、以专业为中心的方法来处理家庭问题。然后，我们使用基于布朗芬布伦纳生态理论的社会关系模型，确定了“村民”可能是谁。文章提出了一些关于村庄如何与生活在逆境中的家庭合作的潜在原则，并展示了两个案例研究，说明这些原则是如何实施的。这篇观点文章提供了对“村庄”概念的概述和讨论，而不是提出一套明确的准则或建议。
