The Role

Rapid Response is an evidence-based program where you hold a small caseload of only two families, providing families with short-term and intensive (up to 15 hours per week) face to face support. A safety-focused plan is developed with child protection and the family, and provides intensive, in-home support to address the crisis and immediate needs identified.
