FamilyForward’s Home Visiting Services provides in-home services and interventions to families with children ages 0-3, who demonstrate risk factors for child maltreatment. As a Family Coach Intern, you will serve families voluntarily seeking preventive or early intervention services in their homes or in the community, while nurturing positive parenting skills and other family relationships. Family Coaches provide parental emotional support, case management addressing concrete needs, connecting to community resources, and sharing evidence-based practices for developing healthier coping skills and parenting techniques through the Nurturing Parent Curriculum.
The primary focus is promoting healthy families by enhancing positive parenting to ensure a safe, stable environment for the child/children. Family Coach Interns will observe and assist in the provision of trauma-informed interventions to help families navigate their needs and assist caregivers in enhancing their understanding of, and confidence in, supporting their children. Interns will regularly attend staff meetings, including weekly group supervision. Interns receive weekly individual supervision.

FamilyForward is committed to upholding the Organizational Health Anchors that we have set for the agency, including safety; mindfulness and self-regulation; relational health; cultural diversity, inclusivity, equity, and anti-racism; clinical lens; vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue.
