Structured and one-to-one

Family Support and Training provides a structured, one-to-one, strength-based relationship between a Family Partner and a parent/caregiver of children and youth.

Developmental Support and Parenting Skills

Caregiver Support

The purpose of this service is to support the caregiver(s) in managing the youth’s behavioral needs by supporting the development of skills needed to parent. The Family Partner understands the family’s struggles from a lived experience perspective and is seen as a side-by-side support who promotes hope.

The Family Partner works closely with the youth’s Intensive Care Coordinator, In-Home Team and/or Outpatient Therapist, and can provide the following services to the family:

  • Help navigating child serving systems
  • Identifying available services and supports in the community
  • Developing connections with self-help and support groups

  • Supporting and coaching parents/caregivers in helping youth to reach their identified goals.
