Happy family relationships make us all feel good and help our children feel secure and loved.
Often as a parent or carer, we are trying to juggle lots of things, and keep our own relationships as positive as can be. Sometimes all relationships can become difficult, and this may impact everyone.
You may be a parent or carer or a young person interested in finding out more about how we can help children where their parents are experiencing relationship difficulties. Whether couples are together or separated, disagreements are completely normal. But evidence shows that regular conflict has a big impact on children. What matters is how the conflict is dealt with.
Support can be offered with:
- Arguing better (raise awareness of the impact that parental conflict can have on children, and helping parents develop better ways of managing stress and arguments)
- Debt and relationships
- Domestic abuse
- Getting it Right for Children (support separated or separating parents, and helping parents to avoid the harmful situations involving their children)
- Me, You and Baby Too (helping expectant and new parents cope with changes in their relationship)
