We have created a home-from-home feeling so that you can settle quickly. The house is just the right size for you not to feel overwhelmed. We have an in-house therapeutic service – our counsellor is on hand to support you with any worries you have or to overcome any previous traumas you may have had.
We also have an experienced housing and benefits advisor who can support you with any worries you have regarding housing and finances. Our package of in-house support is designed to evaluate and strengthen your parenting skills through:
One-on-one guidance and mentoring.
Parenting workshops (Solihull model).
Practical life skills training.
Ongoing assessment (Parent Assess model) and structured feedback.
Our Aims and Objectives
Our aim is to work with all those involved in the lives of children referred to the service, to provide and plan for their best possible care and the longer-term future. To help us achieve this we will:
Provide a comfortable, supportive and caring environment for families.
Recognise the strengths and abilities of parents and build upon them.
Work in an open and honest way with parents and professionals involved with the child.
Empower you as a parent to build a positive future for your child.
Ensure children are safe and can thrive.
Identify any areas of concern which might prevent parents from providing the care their children need.
Model positive parenting approaches.
Assist professionals with creating care plans for children.
Provide clear, evidence-based parenting assessments for local authorities and family courts.
Working Together
During the first few weeks, we will closely watch how you care for your baby. We will be there to offer you advice and support with:
Bathing your child
Nappy changes
Play time
Making bottles and feeding your baby
Washing and sterilising bottles
You will need to inform us of all care tasks so that we can observe your parenting and be there to support you. We expect you to be downstairs during the day, so this can happen. You will have access to your daily notes and can read them each day and make your own comments. Staff will support you to go through your notes if needed.
Your key worker will meet with you weekly to discuss how your assessment is going. You will be encouraged to give your own views on what has been working well, what may have been a worry and what needs to happen next.
We will work together to create an action plan each week to help you move forward in a positive way. Your key worker will do sessions with you that will aim to help you with all aspects of your parenting. These sessions will be specific to you and your family’s needs.
There will also be other sessions for you to attend, which will include parenting support, housing/benefits and therapeutic support. During your assessment, your key worker will write a review report and share it with you. You can add your own comments to the report.
Your social worker and other professionals working with you will be invited to attend your review meeting. A final report will be written at the end of your assessment, which will provide recommendations for when you move on from Aruna House.
