Family Support

Family Support is a project funded by a three year grant from Children in Need and a one year grant in partnership with Early Help and Preventative Services.

Through this project we are able to offer support to families where they have a child with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), or a child with behavioural issues waiting for a diagnosis. Our Family Support Worker (FSW) will visit families in their home and help them to manage the individual needs of their child. This could be around coping strategies, self-care, practical support, visiting the child’s educational setting and taking the child out for respite.

The FSW will also be able to offer support to the parent around DLA applications and support parents with attending Professional meetings, as well as providing a listening ear and emotional support.
