Family support

Welcare’s one-to-one family support workers provide practical help and support to individual families facing tough challenges.

Some parents need help to manage their child’s behaviour, for example, or maybe support to help them access playschemes, parenting programmes, domestic abuse recovery or counselling.

Each family support worker has a caseload of families with which they work one-to-one, using the Solution Focused Brief Therapy model. We take the time to win the family’s trust – so that parents are open to new ideas and opportunities.

This support often prevents families needing more intensive intervention later on.

Welcare has supplied us with fantastic advice and support.
