Had a friend that was receiving family support and I would go along to the centre with her for moral support and also so that if ever she was unsure of anything after she had someone who was there she could ask regardless of the time of day.
The support worker there was very honest and upfront about everything. He never told her what she wanted to hear, he would tell her what she needed to here and would explain clearly why, how, when and where and what she needed to do to improve things and what would happen if she didn't.
Because of the work he did I then went on to college to get my CACHE level 3 so that I could do the very same. Although I am not employed at the minute I now volunteer at the centre and help to run courses for parents.
