Community Outreach

Restoring Lives of Children in need

We work to improve lives of children of all abilities.

The Social Work and Family Support Services offered at St. James and Charity Ministries are aimed at providing assessments, referrals and connections to community resources, parent education and support, consultation, advocacy, crisis support, community outreach, and positive social and behavioral interventions for the children and families served.

JCM recognizes that parenting is ‘one tough job’ filled with both rewards and challenges.  The goal of our Social Work/Family Support Services is to provide family-centered services to help children with delays and disabilities better reach their full potential.

Our Community Outreach Impact

We work to provide emotional support for children and parents. Having children can be stressful and having a child with a delay or disability can add additional challenges.  As a social working ministry we listen to a family’s unique concerns and work on a plan for services and assistance that best fits their situation.  Since our estbalishement, we have impacted thr community in the following ways:

  • Providing families with information, skills and support related to enhancing the skill development of the child as well as providing individual, family, or group counseling to the parent and other family members of a child, as well as appropriate social skill-building activities to the child and parents
  • Working with the family to address problems in the living situation that impede the maximum use of Early Intervention, therapeutic services, or that negatively impact their child’s development
  • Identifying family needs, and community services and resources that will help meet those needs; make referrals and help connect the family to those resources, help coordinate services, and advocate on behalf of the child and family
  • Assist families with identifying and securing needed resources, including respite care, transportation, home modifications, specialized equipment, and nursing care
  • Educate parents about and/or offer training opportunities, to strengthen self- advocacy, increase knowledge of their child’s condition, and identify positive ways to deal with the common stressors of caring for a child with special needs
  • Provide short term counselling, and emotional support to families in times of crisisand aassist families with identifying and building on their strengths, increasing their ability to problem solve, and increasing their sense of empowerment
  • Develop interventions to support the positive social and emotional growth of the child, making home visits to support the parents in providing positive parent-child interactions
