Family InSight Inc - Volunteer home-visiting program supporting families with young children.
Family InSight is a volunteer-based organisation supporting families with young children in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales.
Family InSight (formerly Hunter Home-Start) recruits, trains and supports volunteers to support families with children under five years old by providing friendly mentoring and practical support.
Family InSight aims:
-
To offer support to families with children under 5 years of age
-
To reassure parents that difficulties in bringing up children are normal and to emphasise the enjoyment of family life
-
Bring a focus to benefiting the children of the family (with the support of the Early Childhood Coordinator)
-
Reduce isolation by supporting the family to build connections with their local community, e.g. community events, playgroups, relevant services, parks; engaging participation in community support networks
-
Recognise the importance of the contribution made by fathers, and be more inclusive of them in our practice
-
Provide additional support and training to volunteers
-
Gathering information from families and volunteers about our service, what works well, how families are benefiting, what else could happen, collecting the 'evidence', regularly review the progress of links
-
To encourage the parents' strengths and well-being in order that these may be transferred to their children thus enhancing their development
-
Supplementing our core business by increasing the connection for families to professional child, family and relationship specialists
