The Asian Family Advocate serves to provide our Karen and Burmese population with linguistic, transitional, social and emotional support. The Advocate works as the community liaison and case manager by meeting one-on-one with youth, parents, and families to help them assess their needs, matching and/or referring them to various community services and programs; organizing and overseeing several services and programs that are offered on-site, including youth, parent, and family support groups (parent and family skills training; family support services); and providing translating and interpretation services as needed.
