FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM
The CYSN Family Support program provides individualized support to families that have children or youth with disabilities. A CYSN Family Support Worker meets with families in their homes and in the community and provides assistance in the form of information, advocacy, planning, guidance, and problem-solving. This program uses a family-centered, strengths-based approach and aims to increase the well-being of families.
The CYSN Family Support Worker can help families gain knowledge and build skills in the following areas:
- accessing services and supports in the community.
- connecting to social opportunities and recreation.
- communicating with schools and professionals and attending meetings.
- parenting and life skills.
- household management.
- parent-child interaction.
- behaviour management.
- child and youth with special needs development.
