In my previous role, I encountered a situation where two siblings were in a heated argument over household responsibilities. I facilitated a calm discussion, allowing each to express their concerns. I then helped them identify common goals and created a shared responsibility plan that balanced their needs. This approach not only resolved the immediate conflict but also fostered better communication and cooperation between them.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and severity of the family's needs. For instance, if a family is facing immediate safety concerns, that takes precedence. I also consider the impact of my intervention on the family's overall well-being. Regular check-ins and clear communication with families help me stay organized and ensure that no critical need is overlooked.

Building trust begins with active listening and empathy. I ensure that families feel heard and understood by validating their experiences. I also maintain transparency in my actions and decisions, which helps in establishing credibility. Regular follow-ups and consistent support further reinforce trust, as families see that I am genuinely committed to their well-being.

When families are resistant, I first try to understand their concerns and fears. I approach them with empathy and without judgment, offering to work together at their pace. I also highlight the benefits of the assistance in a way that aligns with their values and goals. If resistance persists, I respect their decision but continue to provide resources and support in a non-intrusive manner.

I stay updated by regularly attending community meetings, workshops, and training sessions that focus on new or updated resources. I also network with other professionals in the field to exchange information and insights. Additionally, I subscribe to newsletters and follow relevant organizations on social media to ensure I am aware of any changes or additions to the available services.
