Who we are
Malika Story
I’m a Parent Resource Specialist for the Children’s Mercy TIES Program which is a part of our Social Work team. I conduct home visits with our patients and families which allows me to see them in their own environment where they are most comfortable. I love building a relationship with families, interacting with the children and educating parents. I am also a certified infant massage therapist and enjoy showing parents various massage techniques that help them form deeper bonds with their child. Our Social Work team works collaboratively to meet the needs of the families we serve by honoring the rights to self-determination. We want all of our families to be successful in their lives. Some days are more challenging than others but that is the beauty of social work. It is not always easy all but it is so very rewarding. I’m honored to be a part of this organization and the work we do here!
