A recent referral to our Family Support Worker has been successful in providing support to a young person, and their carers, in the local area.
Working with our Family Support Worker, clear goals were agreed on what the family would like to achieve. A structured routine was implemented for the young person and their carers. The family received a number of 1-2-1 sessions with our Family Support Worker, and the carers were given emotional support and given direction towards other specialist services.
Initial assessment scores compared to exit scores displayed that an overall positive impact had been had by our Family Support Workers’ intervention, with specific improvements in their routines and boundaries, the young person’s school attendance, and improved social networks and resilience.
Of the support, one of the carers said: “Positive Futures has been very helpful and very supportive. You have helped me with my social skills, and you have helped me to be more positive in my approach to making adjustments when needed.
