HFW New Provider Information
HFW Coordinators, Youth Support Specialists, and Family Support Specialists are essential participants in every HFW team.
The HFW Coordinator facilitates the overall HFW process, working closely with the family to develop and implement a care plan that includes both formal and informal supports, ensuring that the services are culturally competent, strengths-based, and centered around the family's needs and goals.
