Relationship support

Loss, such as divorce, separation or death of a loved one, is difficult for everyone involved. 

Children and young people can need a lot of time, support and understanding as they work through their feelings. There is no right or wrong way to react and everyone handles things in different ways. Loss or death affects everyone differently, but there are online resources that can help:  

• Advice.co.uk: a parent guide for couples and parents who separate or divorce
• Relate: relationship counselling 
• Relate: self help
• NHS: counselling

We offer support for parents via our advanced parenting groups. 

Other parenting courses for parents and carers are as follows: 

• Family Lives
• Netmums parenting course
• NSPCC parenting advice 

Early Help means using the community of support around your family to make sure small problems don't become big problems. It's a way for families, children and young people of any age to get help as early as possible.
