Sophie’s story
Sophie is being raised in a sole parent family; she has twin brothers who have a disability and a thirteen-year-old sister. Sophie’s mother struggles with the responsibilities of raising the children on her own and experiences financial hardship, she has no extended family support and benefits greatly from Sophie’s involvement in the Aunties and Uncles program.
The DoCS Brighter Futures is a new initiative providing targeted support to vulnerable children and families to prevent their problems from escalating. CareSouth will be working with a number of local area agency partners to provide case management support to over 200 families enrolled in the Brighter Futures. Together we will be working towards:
- Healthy development in children
- Strong, functional and well supported families
- Reduced child abuse and neglect in participating families
