Support for your family

All families need help from time to time and in Staffordshire we are keen to offer our help and support before any issues escalate. We have various support available to all our families which you can view below. 

Staffordshire Support and Outreach Service

Do you need a little help to get your family back on track? Need some help with parenting skills, or is your child displaying negative behaviour and you're not sure how to handle? Are you struggling to keep your child safe and just need some advice on how to make changes or set boundaries? Our family support will support you with any issues you're currently facing and we give you the tools to empower you to ensure your family remain happy, healthy and secure!

Once referred, a member of the team will be in touch to chat about the issues you're facing and plan a way forward to help! The team are supportive, friendly and will ensure you're getting the right help at the right time, in the right place.

More information can be found on the Staffordshire Connects website. 

Family Hubs Groupwork

We understand that parenting can be hard at times and children don’t come with an instruction manual. This is why your Family Hubs have a team of understanding Family Hub Coaches who deliver Free Family Learning Courses across the county. 

Our website has information about the groups we offer to Staffordshire Families for free. More information can be found on our Family Hubs Groupwork webpage.
