Empowerment Plus is guided by a board of directors, each director brings their own professional background into play to support the organisation in protecting young people and families at risk. The professional backgrounds of our board include education, social work, childcare services, human resources and legal. As Directors of Empowerment Plus, members of the board are committed to stand behind and direct the services of the Empowerment Plus Model. All our Directors have a genuine interest and compassion in empowering young people and families at risk.
Currently we have six Case Managers overseeing our support services. They are each deeply compassionate and committed to empowering young people and families at risk. They are all highly trained and educated in the field of family support and child protection. They all bring their extensive training and education into play during the daily management of their cases.
Combined our Case Managers have the qualifications listed.
The Empowerment Plus Model has been designed based on thirty years experience of working with young people and families at risk. We are committed to supporting young people and families who find themselves in high risk situations, and we believe that given the right help, the family is the natural environment for the care and upbringing of children. Parents play a vital role in providing a safe and secure environment in which children’s physical, social, emotional and educational development is nurtured.
