Moving Forward for Parents supports participants in building a brighter future for themselves and their families. It assists parents with navigating change and transitions to help their family thrive. Utilising a holistic, trauma-informed approach, it aims to help parents overcome challenges they might be facing in their day-to-day lives.
The programme offers 1:1 casework support so that participants can establish a positive, consistent relationship with one Caseworker. It involves identifying parents’ needs and setting achievable goals addressed via regularly reviewed action plans. It aims to help parents build resilience, confidence and the motivation to progress, advocating for our service users and providing direct support within communities.
The service focuses on providing guidance, practical knowledge and support into specialist provisions in areas including: Personal Development; Health & Wellbeing; Financial Planning; Welfare Rights & Benefits Advice; Childcare Information; Housing Advice; Education & Training; and Employability.
This service is run in conjunction with NOLB Stage 1 Moving Forward for young people (see here). Referrals are via schools or SDS. If you wish, you can also contact Access to Industry for further information here.
