Abbott Family Worker

The Abbott Family Worker Supervision and Training Program

The Northern Consortium’s Family Worker Supervision and Training program, in conjunction with the nationally recognized Parent as Teacher (PAT) training, provides supervision to family workers serving Abbott contracted child care centers in Irvington and Passaic, New Jersey. Northern Consortium MSW’s provide family workers with training, mentoring, support and feedback regarding individual cases, referrals and interventions. The MSW’s ensure that PAT training for each family worker becomes a vital set of skills that can impact positively on the many challenging psychosocial and health issues facing each child and family. In turn, the family workers serve as an educational resource for the parent/caregiver/guardian to bring an awareness of the importance of early childhood development into the home.
