Family Support Worker
CurrentI supporte parents in their strengths and abilities to guide and discipline their children in a caring and safe manner. As the parents and their children had the Department of Child Safety (DCS) involved in their lives, I coordinate with the DCS representative so that certain goals and expectations could be met. I utilize the Child and Family Support Services (CFSS) family guide and “Peaceful parent: happy kids” by Dr. Laura Markham as to fortify recovery, relationships, safety, skills, and self-care with parents and their children. I drive out to the homes of eight to fifteen families one to three times a week for meetings, children involvement activities, and/or referring them to resources.
