  • Providing individual and group counseling to clients and families.
  • Coordinating client services, processing invoices, verifying provider availability, and negotiating service rates.
  • Collaborating with external agencies, community partners, and family members to ensure appropriate service delivery.
  • Conducting home visits to monitor family dynamics and assess child safety; coordinating child visitation schedules.
  • Delivering direct services such as parenting education, life skills coaching, mediation, and client accompaniment.
  • Preparing detailed reports and maintaining case files and program records.
  • Providing emergency and crisis intervention services; offering court testimony and arranging child placements.
  • Recruiting, screening, and training foster parents and volunteers.
  • Educating the public about available services and eligibility requirements.
