Family Support
All families need support from time to time, however some parents and carers live in circumstances that have, or had, a significant impact on their ability to meet their children’s needs due to their own vulnerabilities, circumstances or experiences. Our family support team play a critical role in working with children, young people and their families as a ‘whole family’ response approach, understanding the core issues within the family, and work with them to build their capacity, resilience and confidence to make the changes required. The two key concepts which underpin the day-to-day practice of our family support service are:
- Whole family working – Sometimes expressed as ‘think family’ is an understanding of the holistic needs of individual family members and responding to them. It requires thinking beyond traditional ways of working, agency boundaries and focus
- Multi agency integrated working – is bringing together different sectors and professions to provide an integrated and collective response to support children, young people and families.
We work with families on a 1-1 basis, you can find out more about our support assessment process below, if you would like to self-refer for support or you are a professional looking to refer find out more here - Family Support - St Chads
