Seeing a family support worker.....what should I expect?

[Katymac]

It's for DD & her Bedwetting

And whether it's a school based or home based problem

Lots of Support,I am a Family Support Worker,alas I am being made redundant at the end of March-goverment arent giving enough funding for the project surprise surprise.

I see my clients once a week,every case is different with various outcomes.

Sorry i cant be of much help as i havent been assigned a dd with bedwetting.

The main thing is that you click with your worker.

Hope they give you the right support

Thanks

When we were chatting on the phone she seemed lovely and she has reflexology (just like me) and already we are discussing that for DD (which I like cos I didn't think anyone "establishment" would like that)

She is also reasonably happy not to chat tp DH until she has visited a few times (as he has problems with people in authority) so she will meet him & make friends before indepth discussions - I thought that was nice

So fingers crossed

Try not to think of us as establishment-we are REALLY here to help.

I took my client to see her solicitor today-i have helped her with divorce proceedings.Her decree absolute will come through this week.
She is over the moon,she even bought me a coffee and a doughnut!!!

Your Support Worker soungs great.Remember we are NOT Social Workers!

Good luck with your support

Just to back up what notasheep said -I used to be a FSW too. I can honestly say the whole team I worked with were lovely people who were down to earth and realistic ( because lets face it we've all met some professionals who haven't an ounce of common sense about them! )

FSW often get mistaken for Social Workers but they're not. They are there to work closely with a family on a specific issue - they usually see the family weekly and build up a relationship with them over time. I used to see some families at home, some at the centre and others I would meet elsewhere. I'd also do work with whole families and one-to-one with parents or children.

Hope you get on well with them Katymac because it might be the answer!

I do hope so - I'm at my wits end atm
