Family Services; Community Social Worker - $147,784

[Family Services is] using a team approach to providing services and concrete resources. The case manager functions as the "orchestrator conductor" in helping to determine with the parent and with team the overall plan, the sequence and coordination of services, the intended outcomes and is responsible for tracking progress and working as a team to revise or amend goals.

At the same time, program staff serve as resources, advocates, and champions. As a practical matter, the challenge is to be able to move beyond reacting/responding to crises (e.g., repairs to an automobile) and instead help the family decrease their vulnerability to set backs by increasing their resources/levels of self-sufficiency (for example, for those experiencing food insecurities, access to food is an important goal, however, the next step is secure access to adequate nutrition).
