Family School Coordinators
The Family School Coordinator program is designed to improve school success and social adjustment for referred at-risk students. Using a public health approach of early identification, primary prevention and early intervention, Family School Coordinators provide services in middle schools in the Northwest Family Resource Collaborative regional service delivery area.
Students referred to the program meet with a Family School Coordinator who involves parents, school staff and others in addressing stressors. Over 10 sessions, they develop goals and work together towards improved success in and out of school. The Family School Coordinators also assist in finding additional resources or providing referrals for more intensive care if needed.
Primary responsibilities include:
▪ Meeting with students on a weekly basis
▪ Advocating for their needs and offering support
▪ Providing support and advocacy for students and families through home visits, school-based contacts, information and referral, close work with parents, school personnel and other agencies.
Goals of the Family School Coordinator Program include:
▪ Improved academic performance
▪ Improved social and emotional behavior
▪ Increased parental involvement
The program involves:
▪ One-on-one student support at school
▪ In school mental health support with an emphasis on problem solving
▪ Consultation with and referral to other service providers
▪ Family meetings and parent consultation
The Family School Coordinator program is funded by the Northwest Family Resource Collaborative in partnership with PrairieCare.
