What is Early Intervention Family Support?

Early Intervention Family Support Workers have a good
understanding of child development, family life and parenting and
can help you in lots of ways:
- Give you a chance to be listened to
- Help with difficult behaviour and feelings
- Discuss different ways of parenting and introduce new
ideas
- Help find a way forward that's right for you
Your Early Intervention Family Support Worker will listen to what
you have to say and work with you to come up with a plan to improve
the situation. It may be something you can deal with on your own
but you might want some support, which could be:
- Working with your family together or individually
with parents or children
- Learning together as a family.
- Pointing you in the right direction, for example to the
Citizens Advice Bureau or health services.
- You and the school working together
Your Early Intervention Family Support Worker is here to have a
chat and to help if you need it. You can talk to them at home,
at school or wherever you feel comfortable.
