Family Support Worker

Trying to make life better for the most vulnerable kids, one family at a time. Early Help, break the cycle. High challenge/High support.

We all need help sometimes, please never be afraid to ask.

Family in crisis, social care not sure if it will step up but because I have ensured everyone’s safety for tonight it’s now not urgent.
Waiting on police report before they will assess.

When you get to a home visit half an hour early 🤦🏻‍♀️

@HJHaygarth @dr_treisman It’s the lack of funding for support services that drives me crazy.
It’s hard to keep motivated and upbeat when you can’t help enough 😞

Will look this up though, thanks

Sometimes I just don’t feel equipped to deal with the level of trauma that some of my families are experiencing.

Going into the long weekend having closed two families today because they no longer need me and it feels great.

[Family Support Worker @EYsFamSupport]

@HJHaygarth Gutted I never thought of that!

I have a family who live on the 12th floor in a block of flats.
Today the lift was broken, I walked up.
Felt ok (although had to stop a few times to catch my breath)
My thighs are suddenly killing me. #ouch #unfit

This country is broken, 😤 services are on their knees and it’s the most vulnerable that are suffering.

There are days I feel so useless and today is one of those days 😔
I wish there was more I could do but alas I don’t have the power or money.

I’ve been looking for longitudinal studies about maternal eating disorders during pregnancy and long-term outcomes in offspring. Other than the epigenetic famine studies and 1 ALSPAC, I’m struggling to find references. Can anyone point me in right direction please?

[Family Support Worker @EYsFamSupport]

There is not enough training for practitioners who have to have challenging conversations with parents where there is serious conflict and court proceedings pending.

@lauracs248 Do you get to enjoy the weekend or covering?

[Family Support Worker @EYsFamSupport]

What a week. Was it only four days?

[Family Support Worker @EYsFamSupport]

Love an admin morning working from home #productive #nointeruptions

[Family Support Worker @EYsFamSupport]

Some amazing feedback from a family who I’ve been supporting through a tough time.
Just doing my job but makes me feel emotional at how grateful they are.
No-one should be afraid to ask for help and no-one should refuse to help if they can #kindness #familysupport

[Family Support Worker @EYsFamSupport]

Only just home due to traffic, which is unusual.
Seems like there are temporary lights everywhere

[Family Support Worker @EYsFamSupport]

One of my families has a child in HDU, I don’t know what I can do to help but I’m wishing for the best.
