Family Help
We believe that the best time to get help is really early. Just think how much easier it is to pull up a tiny weed than it is to wait until it’s grown into a tree. We’re here for every family who thinks they might need some extra help with getting things back on track.
One to one family support in the home
Although we run lots of parenting programmes and courses, you might feel that you would like some outreach support where one of our family hub practitioners works alongside you with a particular issue which might be making family life a little bit difficult.
This could include:
- worries around a child’s behaviour
- being isolated in a rural community and not knowing what to do about it
- feeling overwhelmed as a new parent
- trying to cope with the stresses of day to day life and communicating better with your partner (or ex partner)
- financial, housing or employment worries
What would happen?
First things first you’d meet your family hub practitioner. Normally this would be at your home, and arranged at a time to suit you. Through talking together, you’d both get a clear picture of what you were trying to achieve and how this might look.
Through regular catch-ups, some face to face and some ‘virtual’, you’ll then work together to get your family to where you want it to be.
Who is it for?
It’s for every family who needs some extra help and support. Sometimes we meet families through other professionals like health visitors, midwives and schools, but mostly families just come to us themselves. If you’d like to find out more, or if you’d like to ask for help then please just get in touch with us.
