Family Lives was formed over forty years ago by volunteers, with the aim of ensuring that all parents had somewhere to turn before they reached crisis point. We know that the right support at the right time makes all the difference.

Family Lives provides targeted early intervention and crisis support to families who are struggling.

The issues we support families with include family breakdown, challenging relationships and behaviour, debt, and emotional and mental wellbeing.

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 more complicated and provide support around family breakdown, aggression in the home, bullying, teenage risky behaviour and mental health concerns of both parents and their children.
