What we do
The aim of the Early Intervention Support Service is to support families when difficulties arise before they need involvement with statutory services. The EISS will deliver and co-ordinate person centred, evidence based, early intervention to families with children 0-18 years.
The EISS provides a range of supports tailored to the needs of each individual family's specific circumstances. This is achieved through a key worker who works with the whole family usually in their own home.
The EISS work with families for a time limited period - approximately 12 weeks. A range of both hands on practical and therapeutic interventions including motivational interviewing and solution focused brief therapy will be used.
The EISS also has access to a range of parenting and support programmes such as Strengthening Families and Incredible Years.
Examples of the challenges families may experience include:
Difficulties with developmental or health related issues
Issues at school
Difficult behavior
Emotional wellbeing
Family difficulties
Coping with illness or bereavement
Lack of life skills
Domestic Violence
