What is Family Support?
Family Support is a style of work and a wide range of activities that strengthen positive informal social networks through community-based programmes and services. The focus of these services is on early intervention aiming to promote and protect the health, well-being and rights of all children, young people and their families. At the same time particular attention is given to those who are vulnerable or at risk.
Family Support Services
Family Support is for families and individuals who need help. Family life is not always easy. Life events like birth, death, depression, redundancy, separation, illness, abuse, or financial problems all put stress and strain on family life and relationships.
Family Support can help. Simply having someone to talk to about your problem can be the easiest way to begin to deal with your problem. There are many support groups for adults, teenagers, children, and carers that give people the chance to tell their own stories and give support to each other. Specialist services provide support for domestic violence or child abuse. Family Support services are generally provided to families in their own homes and communities.
Whatever your circumstances, we can support you through difficult times and/or refer you to specific services as needed
