IN HOME FAMILY SUPPORTS

IN HOME FAMILY SUPPORTS, a vital Spoke Service facilitated by Metis Child & Family Services for Red Road, extends a compassionate hand to families with children, offering invaluable ‘in home supports’ from skilled social workers or equitable practitioners.

Navigating the challenges presented by the pandemic, the delivery of this service has required creative adaptation. While traditional home visits have been impacted, practitioners remain committed to meeting families wherever they are, whether through virtual platforms or alternative means. This flexibility ensures that the unique needs of each family are understood and addressed effectively.

Drawing from the framework established in HOME VISITS, these in-home supports prioritize EARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENT, FAMILY OUTREACH, and PARENT EDUCATION. Practitioners engage with families to provide guidance on nurturing child development, fostering family connections, and enhancing parental skills.

This service is especially crucial for families facing mobility challenges, whether due to the presence of multiple children, disabilities, or other barriers. Recognizing the importance of targeted and intensive support, IN HOME FAMILY SUPPORTS spans across all three domains: Social Connections and Supports, Child Development, and primarily the Caregiver Capacity and Building Supports Domain.

Referrals to Metis Child & Family Services are initiated by Red Road when families express a need for this service upon registration at the Red Road Hub. Through this collaborative approach, families receive the comprehensive support they require to navigate the complexities of parenthood and family life with confidence and resilience. Together, we strive to create nurturing environments where children can thrive, families can flourish, and communities can grow stronger.
