Family Support Work
Swan Youth Project – Family Worker
Here for parents of young people aged 11 – 16. We can help with things like:
- meeting with parents and children to identify problems and possible solutions
- a friendly ear, because we all know how difficult being a parent can be
- supporting behaviour and establishing roles and routines at home
- helping to signpost families to the external support they may be entitled to
- helping to make referrals to other agencies for different types of support
- making home visits and meeting parents in the centre/school to provide on-going support
- encouraging and supporting parents to form good relationships with the community/school
- supporting transitions, particularly following COVID. Back to school will be a challenge that we can help with
Referrals can be made by the family or by other professionals. More information from:
