A Modern Take on Traditional Social Work | The Future of Family Services – Reaching Hands

“Meeting families where they’re at — emotionally, mentally, and physically.” – Ana DelgadoOn this week’s episode of New York’s Business Podcast, we’re joined by Ana Delgado, the licensed social worker and founder of Reaching Hands — a mobile, modern agency redefining how family support services are delivered across Long Island.Reaching Hands specializes in supervised visitations, parenting support, co-parenting coordination, and anger management. But what sets Ana apart is her commitment to meeting families where they are — whether that’s at a park, in a courtroom, or on Zoom. Her approach is rooted in empathy, awareness, and a deep understanding of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), which she believes are foundational in understanding adult behavior and healing family dynamics.From her early days as a CPS investigator to launching an agency with a statewide vision, Ana is building a business that doesn’t just serve — it adapts, listens, and evolves. We talk about growing a social work agency with integrity, building relationships with courts and attorneys, and how being mobile gives Reaching Hands a modern edge in a system that often feels outdated and rigid.If you’re interested in entrepreneurship with heart, modernizing traditional service models, or making an impact through mission-driven business — this is one episode you don’t want to miss.🎧 Listen now on all platforms — New York’s Business Podcast#NYBusinessPodcast #LongIslandBusiness #SocialWork #EntrepreneurshipWithPurpose #WomenInBusiness #CourtServices #ReachingHands #ParentingSupport #BusinessWithImpact
