Family Relationship Service

Our focus is to strengthen family relationships using approaches that consider the whole family – children as well as adults are included in some sessions so that needs of every family member can be taken into account.

The service provides support for families dealing with difficulties in their lives – whether it is related to stress, pressures of modern living, parenting issues, conflict or relationship breakdown.

Aims:

• Building stronger family relationships through early intervention
