Family Support

Investing in Schools Since 2006

Empowering Children,
Young People and Families

Our focus is to provide hands on support, empowering the children, young people and families we work with to address various challenges, reduce problems and risks, to prevent escalation and build resilience. Enabling them to be the very best they can be!

Our family support workers help children, young people and their parents/carers who are experiencing any difficulties both in school or at home. We can offer practical help and emotional support for short or long term difficulties.

Across the Archdiocese of Birmingham, we work in both Catholic and non Catholic schools. We are currently working in Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham and Banbury.

You’re one of the most genuine, compassionate and understanding people I’ve ever met. You’ve given me the space to talk without judgement and that is something I’ll be forever grateful for.
