Family Lives

Description below taken from the website about the Charity, Family Lives

(familylives.org.uk/)

'Family Lives is a charity that has over three decades of experience in helping parents deal with the changes that are a constant part of family life.

We recognise that the best way to support families is to provide FREE professional, non-judgmental support and advice in a way that all members of the family can access. We therefore provide a 24 hour helpline, a really useful website, message boards, email service, live chat and parenting/relationship support groups – the great news is that all of the services are FREE and you can contact us 365 days a year.

People contact us about all aspects of family life that include all stages of a child’s development, issues with schools and parenting/relationship support.

We also respond when life becomes complicated and provide support around family breakdown, aggression in the home, bullying at school, teenage risky behaviour and mental health concerns of both parents and their children'
