In health care, sometimes we help the body fix the problem, and sometimes we "just" treat symptoms.

It's ... probably not a good idea for the government to try to fix families. Any interventions must be very carefully considered.

But some of the symptoms can be helped out relatively easily.

I also think the author(s) may have a different perspective on responsibility, fault, and blame. I feel like blame is something that our minds do for us so we can stop thinking about a problem - to fix things you have to look past the blame.
