Results revealed three themes as follows: 1) the roles of female participants driven through their sole; 2) from the starting point of uncertainty and delusive vision to the strategic planning; and 3) being proud of accomplishments. The findings reflected the lessons learned of the participatedfamily health leaders, which would be beneficial to those who were interested to provide a further similarhealth-promoting program support for communities in the future.
