Aim/Objective/Mission : Social work team the social work team at ummeed works toward empowering families by integrating them as active partners in the treatment process. This requires not only understanding the family- their needs and priorities, but also tailoring their treatment plans and therapies to fit their home environments and lifestyle. Our vision of family-centered care is based on the idea that families have the greatest ability to help their child cope with their difficulties. In order to ensure that this can be done, social workers build awareness, are advocates for families and also serve as the liaison between them and the community at large, informing them of and connecting them with available service providers. Areas of focus/ ongoing therapy every family s journey of care in ummeed begins with the initial intake of the family s concerns about their child by the social worker. The intake implies getting an understanding of the family s primary concerns and issues in relation to the child. The social worker then triages the family toward the professional/s they need to see. Typically a family that visits ummeed for the first time is referred to a developmental pediatrician who does an assessment and offers a diagnosis if any. Based on this assessment the family is referred to multiple therapists within and outside the team for ongoing care. Work with individual families the social work team s intervention with families includes providing ongoing care in terms of social support such as schooling options, guidance on availing disability certificate, government schemes and provisions; mental health support, awareness of their rights and entitlements, and advocacy. Home visits when required are also made to enable a better understanding of the family. Awareness & advocacy related activities know your rights workshop: the social work team has been conducting a workshop called know your rights since the inception of the team. The workshop aims to make parents aware of the rights of their children with disabilities which include the process of procuring a disability certificate, the salient features of the persons with disabilities act, and the schemes and provisions of the government that they can avail. Support groups: the social work team partnered with the mental health team to initiate a group program for parents of children from 2-6 years of age with hyperactivity, attention, and concentration difficulties. This workshop is designed to help parents understand and better manage their children by increasing their level of positive interaction and using appropriate behaviour management techniques. It places a strong emphasis on increasing the confidence and effectiveness of parents to act as facilitators of their child with attention and concentration difficulties.
