Meet Your Contact Worker
Clare
Hi! I'm Clare and I'm looking forward to meeting you shortly at our Child Familiarisation Session. But in the meantime, I wanted to show you a picture of me from my very special Holding Hand ID Card and to share a few things about me!
My nickname is Clare Bear
I have a pet rabbit named Bobby
My favourite colour is turquoise or magenta
My favourite food is anything you can eat with your fingers
My favourite smell is the earth after it rains because it reminds me of England
My favourite season is the sunny cool days of Autumn
My hobbies are reading, cooking, bush walking & jigsaws.
Something interesting about me that I want to share with you is that I backpacked around the world and I visit somewhere new every year.
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
