FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICE
The aim of the Family Support Service is to engage with children, young people and families within the geographical area of Mohill, Ballinamore and Carigallen, and to empower each person to address the various challenges and risks in their life and who are in need of support. Mohill Family Support worker responds to the individual family by assessing their needs and developing a plan in consultation with the parent to respond to those needs.
This will help address both the short term and long-term difficulties these children, young people and families may be having. This will be carried out through a needs-led and outcome-focused approach. Depending on the needs of the family other agencies may also be involved.
