Kelowna, Canada CMHA Kelowna Full time

WHO IS A FAMILY & NATURAL SUPPORTS COORDINATOR?

The Family and Natural Support Program strongly believes in the Family and Natural Support (FNS) core principles of ‘connection first’ and supporting the physical, social and emotional needs of youth and their chosen support persons in our unbiased focus on fostering belonging and inclusion through our existing continuum of youth and adult services. The FNS program believes that natural and community-based supports are the best resources to ensure that the youth experience of homelessness and dislocation from supportive connections are brief and non-recurring. The Family & Natural Supports Coordinator assists young people who identify as having little or no natural support structures in their lives to create and strengthen a network of natural, non-paid, supports who will help them in times of need, be it due to health, mental health, substance use and/or housing instability. Our services are community-based and developed to support the unique needs of each individual versus a one-size-fits-all approach, with focus on youth development, improving health and housing outcomes, as well as strengthening attachment and relationships with non-paid supports.
