Supporting Families with Complex Needs

This workshop will explore the essential roles of parents and service providers. Parent involvement and competence is a key component of success for children. A parent’s relationship with community professionals, including ECE, can make all the difference in terms of their level of empowerment. This workshop explores practical ways of moving service providers towards services that are more closely aligned with enabling and empowering families. It includes ideas on making a connection, and building a strong relationship, with a family. The importance of, and strategies for, collaborative communication with a family are also presented.

Content: roles, parents with complex needs, enabling and empowering, forming a helping relationship, strategies, community resources.
