We have an experienced team of social workers and family support workers who are able to give your family the extra support and guidance you need at this delicate time.
We recognise the expertise you bring to your family and work with you in a sensitive and empowering way to help you make the changes you wish for your desired outcome.
This can be used to identify a child’s wishes and feelings and assist parents in developing ‘Our Family Plan’ and understanding how the child would like to spend their time with either parent. It can include preparatory sessions before family time with an adult or parent begins, to assist in the relationship rebuilding or forming and help with any anxiety that may be present. It is useful preparation when there has been a longer period of separation with no or little contact in place.
When parents separate, it can be hard to know how to talk to your children about what is happening. It is often a very emotive time for all involved and that can make it hard to know how to phrase the situation to your children. It can be easier when parents are supported with a narrative that they can share with their child to help explain what is happening. We are experienced at helping children understand the changes that are happening for them and equipping parents with the skills to feel confident to have these discussions when the situation continues to evolve around you and be a time of uncertainty. Work can be undertaken directly with the parents to support in this area, with the children directly or as a family unit. It is important for children to receive the same message from both their parents and an agreed narrative reduces some of the stress at a challenging time.
We recognise that parenting can be challenging, especially with the added complexities of children going through significant events and heightened emotions. The often added complexity of differing routines, consequences and expectations across different home lives can be hard for children and parents to navigate. We are experienced at helping parents attempt to provide a greater level of continguity across children’s homes to porvide creater consistency and stability. We are able to help with additional behavioural challenges along the way in a supportive and non judgemental manner.
Even if a service isn’t listed, we may be able to help and are always happy to have an initial chat.
