CORE PRINCIPLES
Support
Our culturally competent staff works with
families to identify their strengths and build
on them to address their needs and goals.
We assist families at critical times such as
when a child is entering a hospital, appear-
ing in court, meeting with school personnel
and service providers or child-study team.
Educate
We inform parents/caregivers of their rights
and responsibilities, and of resources that
may be available to assist them in reaching
their family goals. Monthly educational ses-
sions are
also offered on a variety of relevant
topics.
Advocate
FSOEC staff advocate on behalf of the family's
needs and work to ensure that the needs,
rights and preferences of families are heard
and honored. We also advocate for change
in government policy and in the various
systems that serve children with special
emotional and behavioral health needs. |
