Family Support Program
The Family Support Program is a longer-term, goal oriented, home visitation program that empowers parents to successfully navigate life's challenges such as financial instability, single parenthood, illness or disability, social isolation, housing issues, and much more.
Your Norwood Centre Family Support Worker (FSW) will visit you in your home and help you create a plan based on goals you choose for yourself, your family, and your household. Your FSW is a source of support for your child's ongoing development in their critical early years, as well as a connection to community and information, and a source of encouragement and advocacy.

How does the process work?
Family Support Services are 100% voluntary and driven by your goals.
​
You are the expert in your family’s well-being, so you lead the process.
Your Family Support Worker will help you talk through what you want for your family and home. One of the tools used may be the “Steps to Success” cards to help you choose and prioritize goals.
For example: is learning completing your resume your priority right away, or do you need to learn new cooking skills first? What you choose to focus on is up to you—your FSW is there to help and guide you.

-
connecting with community
