Five ways to get involved this December
2023 has seen families and communities manage increasing pressures from the rising cost of living, various industry strikes, and the prevalence of mental health for adults and children being a continued in-demand area for support. The families that we work work are often managing multiple pressures. Sometimes these pressures impact day-to-day life and well-being, and at other times, the impact extends to the safety of those in the family. To enable people to find a way forward, we work alongside families to identify and engage with their wider support network, including professional resources that they might benefit from. We bring everyone together, equipped and prepared, to devise a proactive, safe and sustainable support plan. Core to this plan is the voice of the child, sharing their feelings and views on their family’s situation.
We anticipate that these rising pressures will continue in 2024, and are therefore looking to expand the way that we work alongside families as part of our #MovingForward initiative, and help manage rising costs and needs for families through our #Thrive campaign.
