A family support specialist provides an assessment and ongoing support and referrals to resources and services for families with multiple needs. Services are provided at the FRC. A plan is designed with the family regarding goals, barriers, strengths, and needs. Every effort is made to ensure positive participation in services to help the family and create safe and healthy home environments for children. CHILD DEvelopment programs and services
