Family Safety

Warning: perils ahead. That’s life: lightning strikes, fires, accidents and injuries, family crises, food poisoning and falls, cancer and heart attacks. Risk is inherent in life, and we learn to protect ourselves and control what we can.

When tragedy strikes and we fall victim to forces outside of our control or from our own poor lifestyle choices, we can find comfort from the support of others. Social workers are specifically trained to help people regain their equilibrium following an illness, family trials, and accidents.
