      Feb 2015 - May 2015
      Family Support Worker

      The Springboard project is a joint partnership between the Kerry Diocesan Youth Service (KDYS) and TUSLA. The project works with vulnerable children and families in the community that have either self-referred or have been referred on by another agency. My role as a student on placement was primarily working with the young people on a one-to-one basis. The families Support Worker would identify areas they felt the young person needed further support with and we would come up with various methods on which to provide these supports. I also helped out with the incredible years programme, which is a programme for the young person and the parents. The project workers work with the parents and children separately. We did various pieces of work like parenting skills, budgeting, hygiene, healthy eating, sharing and making friends. Other supports that I provided were advocacy for the family on a variety of different issues, empowerment, assisting with filling out forms for entitlements and visiting the houses of the families to check in with them.
