Circle of Care THECHILD Implementation Toolkit: Module 2
Examples of Feedback “We were helping the family of a severely autistic child …we were able to get a diagnosis for this child...We then made arrangements for access to an occupational therapist and provided some follow-up care to the child. We supported the mom in learning some therapy skills to help her child at home. We then helped the mom engage with disability services, housing supports, and income assistance. At the same time, we supported Child and Family Services in working with the family. This helped to reduce sufficient risk required to reunify the family and have mom get the rest of her children back from foster care”. – Jordan’s Principle Case Manager “We struggled with trying to transition services from Thompson to our home community. They really helped with getting things lined up so our child could stay home with us.” – Mother “We always found it difficult to have positive communication with Child and Family Services (CFS). But Jordan’s Principle helped to clear the air and help us see eye to eye…now CFS helps us.” – Father.
