Welcome to the Camden Early Help Friends Workshop #camdenearlyhelp
At the end of this session, I would feel glad I came if I….. • Felt clear what early help is and who it is for • Felt confident I could explain early help to a friend or neighbour • Knew how I can help families I care about and families in my community to get help early • Knew what early help services there are and how to get them • Had thought of one thing I could do and want to do to raise awareness about early help • Our twitter handle for the day #camdenearlyhelp
100 seconds If I was explaining early help to my neighbour I would say it is…… Reflection and table talk: What did you write? What questions did it raise for you? What common ideas did we have about early help?
Lily’s Interpretation https://youtu.be/w8zcLkK-5Ks
Early Help is... The bit between feeling ok with the world and needing social care For any family with children aged 0-19 For families who are finding life issues are starting to feel a bit overwhelming Helping a family so that small things don’t become big things Sometimes it’s about making sure big things feel more manageable
Early Help is... A family can choose whether to have early help or not Sometimes services ‘help early’ Sometimes friends, family, neighbours and community ‘help early’ What matters is that families feel they can say ‘I’m not ok’ – and that they have someone to say it to who will listen and help
Camden Children and Families Contact Service 020 7974 3317 Email: LBCMASHadmin@camden.gov.uk And ask for an Early Help Coordinator If you’re feeling anxious about your child If you and your family want to make a change If you know a family who you think might welcome a little help If the family, and their natural network, think they need some extra help or support
Being able to be my BEST SELF whatever that means to me Early help services will help a family to think about all of these things…. We explore strengths a family already has, and what they think a good life would look like We take everything at a family’s own pace and we’re led by the family We make sure networks around families are helping the family get to where they want to be
BUT There are lots of other Camden organisations who can help early too (this is just a selection!) Give us a call and we’ll help you figure out which one you think would be most helpful Camden Family Group Conference
100 seconds If I was explaining early help to my neighbour I would say it is…… Reflective table time Now I know about early help, what onething can I do to raise awareness? What do I want to do?
