Your health visitor, teacher or community group can also offer other forms of family support. </i></p><hr/><p>Bringing up children is
|
|
exciting and enjoyable but it is also demanding, tiring and stressful. We all
|
|
need help at times as none of us are trained to be parents. Social Services
|
|
can offer support and services to your children and you as parents and carers
|
|
and we will work alongside others offering you support in your community.</p><h2>Family Support - Who is Eligible?</h2><p>To receive family support, an assessment of your child and families needs will
|
|
have taken place to ensure that Social Services are best placed to meet these
|
|
needs. Your involvement in this assessment is important, as it is our aim to
|
|
support you to safely parent your child.</p><h2>Family Support - What help

</ul><h2>Family Support - Teenagers
|
|
</h2><p>Having a teenager at home
|
|
can be challenging for both you as a parent and the young person. It is a time
|
|
when young people begin to want control over their lives and need to learn how
|
|
to take responsibility for their actions. It can be a rollercoaster of emotions
|
|
and make family life a time of conflict, stress and worry.</p><p>We can offer advice and
|
|
support, including individual work with the young person.</p><p>The aim is to support you
|
|
as a family and prevent any family breakdown.</p><h2>Your Involvement</h2><p>Social Services is committed
|
|
to working in partnership to enable you to parent your children so that they
|
|
reach their full potential. This includes:</p><ul>

up the plan for your child.</li>
