Well Spring Family Services Link: http://www.family-services.org/index.php
Wellspring Family
Services, a non-profit organization provides a breadth of services that address
the sources of instability for families. As an agency with a foundation in
therapy, WSFS have expert staff trained to help vulnerable children stabilize,
communicate, and form relationships with other children and their teachers. They have created the Child Care
Consultation program to improve the overall quality of child care in the
community and to support the healthy development of all children. Our infant mental health specialists are
available to work with Seattle-area child care providers, teaching them how to
identify at-risk children, and ensuring that the children and their families
receive the special assistance they need to be successful in school and life. I feel that this would be an excellent
position and one that I would have interest in if there were an opening. Since I have a back ground in counseling/case
management I could utilize my already established while working with teachers
and professionals in early education.
Leon'e,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great program. It is amazing to learn about all these great programs those created for the families and children. Thank you for sharing!!
The Well Spring Family Services sounds like something I would also be interested in. I love that they work with childcare providers and support their efforts as educators. It sounds like Well Spring Family Services would have rewarding positions that would make a difference in the lives of many families.
ReplyDeleteI agree that child care providers should be able to identify at risk children. I am fortunate to have social work training as well as an education degree so I am more capable than other providers to identify certine risk factors with my children and families that I serve.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Wellspring Family Services, but this nonprofit organzation seems interesting to me. I love the fact that they are focusing on high risk children and their families. What state or country is located?
