Family Support
Our Family Support service provides support to families and individuals through a range of activities, programmes and tailored 1:1 support to assist them to live fuller lives. Our focus is on early intervention and particular attention is given to those who are vulnerable or at risk
Overview
Respond’s Family Support service focuses on helping parents in their role, to enhance developmental opportunities and outcomes for children, parents and families. Parents are the foundation for good child outcomes and have significant influence, particularly in the early years of children’s lives.
Effective parenting support can mitigate some of the more negative impacts of intergenerational poverty. Respond are committed to supporting families to parent confidently and positively and see this as one of the primary and most effective supports that we can provide.
