Ms. Jacobs was referred to Thompson for support from a Family Partner – a peer support partner who guides her during Child & Family Team (CFT) meetings. She now has a non-judgmental sounding board who can help explain the child welfare process, help her advocate for herself, and identify other support services. Ms. Jacobs has since become more consistent attending her CFT meetings and other attending other required programs set by DSS. Ms. Jacobs is one step closer to concluding DSS involvement, and recently moved into her first apartment.
