Meet Your Contact Worker
Sarah
That's me!
Hi.. I'm Sarah!
I'm looking forward to meeting you shortly at our Child Familiarisation Session.
In the meantime, I wanted to show you my very special Holding Hands ID Card so you can recognise me when we meet for the first time.
I also wanted to share a few things about me which you can read or your parent can read to you:
My nickname is Millie
My favourite colour is sky blue
My favourite food is cherries
My favourite smell is cherry
My favourite season is autumn - I love the colours
My hobbies are walking by the sea and listening to audio books
Something interesting about me that I want to share with you is that I lived in Paris.
Well... that's it from me. I cant wait to meet you!
Child Familiarisation Sessions - Why do we do them?
Child Familiarisation Sessions are an important part of the intake process at Holding Hands and should form a part of children's contact visits. These sessions are the first time your child and the parent they live with have to meet your allocated contact worker. This opportunity to start building trust often decreases any anxiety a child has in the lead up to their first contact visit - which we think all parents would agree is incredibly important.
Join Jakki, Sam and Ben as they discuss this all important pre visit session and the benefits it has for your child as they commence contact visits.
Parents who have completed their intake assessments and have a child familiarisation session scheduled with Holding Hands are strongly recommended to listen to this podcast
