Family Help – working with you and your family

Every family goes through challenging times at some point. Family help means working with you and your family so that small problems don’t become big problems.

Family help is for everybody, for families with children and young people of any age. And it’s your choice whether to have it or not.

There are lots of reasons why people look for family help. It could be that you’re worried about your child’s health, development or behaviour, or how they’re doing at school, or perhaps because you are caring for a disabled child. It may be that you’re worried about money or housing and how that is affecting your family. Maybe your child or family is affected by domestic abuse, drugs, alcohol, or crime. Perhaps your child is a carer for other people, or maybe you’ve had a bereavement in the family that’s made life a challenge.

If you’d like to find out more about family help, please contact Mrs Chloe Kingston, Family Support worker either via email, safeguarding@standrewsceva.uk, or by calling 01604 406486 option 2.
