Parent/carers and families

Since 2007 we have provided ‘family inclusive’, specialist services for children and young people affected by negative experiences or trauma.

We support the child and their family to reclaim their lives and empower them to make positive choices - now and in the future.

While we always keep the child in the centre, we believe that the best outcomes are achieved when the adults around the child are included in the support.

The focus is on helping families to reconnect and build positive relationships whereby every individual is able to express their needs and feelings in a healthy way.
