Time for families
For families, not just at the ARC but across the organisation, we know the challenges of the last 18 months continue. Our Family Support Manager, Sophie Ade says:
“I’m here to help our support teams build positive relationships with families and also to share our organisational expertise directly with families by offering training, providing advocacy in meetings and offering advice about systems and legislation. Navigating the social care system can be complicated and intimidating and the Certitude Family Support team is here to help all our families and carers.”
Support to any family involved with Certitude includes support at meetings, planning for the future, giving guidance on benefits, grants and personal budgets and simply being there to listen.
‘Time for Families’ forums, where families and carers can come together to provide feedback and hold discussions around what we can do to ensure we are always providing the right support have recently started. They are held every month from 6.30-8pm.
The dates for the next meet ups in 2022 are:
- Thursday 27 January
- Thursday 24 February
- Thursday 24 March
- Thursday 28 April
