Family Support

Our Family Support Workers support families with parenting capacity issues and other day to day challenges such as stress and disruption associated to for example relationship breakdown, parental ill-health, etc.

Our family support intervention builds on family strengths to maximise parental capacity and to minimise potential risks. It ranges from basic to intensive family support focusing on boundaries, routines, building attachment, behaviour management, parenting & cultural integration issues, specific parenting capacity work and much more. Its objective is to improve communication, reduce conflict and to agree on practical, workable arrangements for the future, taking into account children’s views, needs and feelings.

Our focus is on putting children’s needs first and making family life less stressful for everyone.

Mentoring

We provide young people with an opportunity to learn new skills, broaden their experience through a structured framework of mentoring, advice and guidance over an agreed period.
