Our Child & Family Wellbeing Service provides early intervention support to children and young people who are experiencing early warning signs of anxiety, depression or behavioural issues. Our approach relies on these signs being addressed early, before they reach the point of causing a severe and persistent impact on a child or young person’s mental health. The service aims to improve the wellbeing of children and families enabling them to better participate in their communities and reach their full potential.
As our Case Worker, you will work from a child-centred approach to help children and young people recognise and manage strong feelings and emotions and help them build their resilience to overcome life’s difficulties. You will offer skill building for children through strength based activities that are informed by research, are interactive and most of all, fun. You will offer whole of family sessions alongside individual sessions with children, or one on one sessions with parents to improve their capacity to build resilience in their child’s life and strengthen the parent-child relationship.
You will offer workshops, groups and community awareness sessions that promote social and emotional wellbeing in children and young people. You will promote a culture where each family’s point of view and preferences for their wellbeing are recognised, respected and understood. You will be part of a monthly intake roster.
