- Coordinate parent/child education with a Strengthening Families framework and support the development of family protective factors.
- Coordinate various plans among appropriate community partners, particularly in the areas Family Services, Reach-Up, and employment related supports. Engage in general advocacy with a focus on the goal of successfully obtaining permanent and safe housing for clients.
- Develop opportunities for employment for FSH participants in collaboration with the local employment consultants and job coaches.
- Identify and access additional appropriate resources for families that have not yet been utilized.
- Attend all mandated training and be available for additional training opportunities as identified supervisor.
