Family Social Support Work
Family Social Workers will visit parents at home for about an hour per week over a period of 12 weeks which can be extended when needed. The aim is to support parents and educate on a wide range of issues.
This service is confidential and FREE to the family. Where it is appropriate we are also able to provide direct support work to children.
The issues that families face can be complex and multiple:
- Parenting skills
- Child development & safety
- Building positive family relationships
- Coping with stress and anger
- Linking families with services and resources to enhance well-being and functioning
