Introduction and Building Rapport

Our assessors focus on establishing trust by introducing themselves, clearly outlining the purpose of the assessment, and creating a supportive atmosphere where the mother feels comfortable and engaged.

Comprehensive Assessment

Health Evaluation: We carefully assess the mother’s physical health, any pregnancy-related conditions, and her access to prenatal care, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of both mother and unborn child.
Parenting Capacity: Through observation and discussion, we evaluate the mother’s ability to meet her child’s emotional and physical needs, along with her understanding of parenting responsibilities.
Social and Environmental Assessment: By examining the living conditions, support systems, financial stability, and potential risks or stressors in the home, we ensure the environment is safe and nurturing for the child.
