Bespoke Support
Sometimes as families we need that next step of support, and need somebody to guide, advise and work with us.
We have two fantastic programmes that are evidence based designed, trialled and ready for use with families. These are our Frameworks 2 Flourish programme and our TLC, The Lifeboat Centre programme. Both programmes are facilitated by trained professionals. See below for more information.
Framework 2 Flourish
Frameworks 2 Flourish (F2Fl) is our bespoke support programme for parents. Evidence shows us that children need boundaries and routines to help them flourish. We know from experience that parenting is hard work and life is busy!!
F2Fl is a parent self-completed online assessment, followed by a consultation and advice on what areas to focus on first. Through discussion, we highlight achievable adjustments to bring in frameworks to allow your family to flourish. Following each F2Fl consultation, advice and a bespoke plan are emailed to you, and we ask you to complete homework before the next review.
The Lifeboat Centre (TLC)
The Lifeboat Centre (TLC) is our programme of additional support for children and families. We all need a bit of help and support at times. Our children can struggle to manage their feelings which often comes out in difficult behaviour. We know that big feelings, for whatever reason, can become overwhelming and make life difficult for the whole family.
The Lifeboat centre (TLC) uses the same principle as a lifeboat, we come out and support you when you are struggling and there is a problem. We work with you to get back to firm ground by providing one-to-one bespoke support for children and parents. In the same way as a lifeboat comes out and changes the course of a situation, that’s what we want to do and how early intervention is so effective in improving outcomes for children.
-
What TLC is:
- A Bespoke support package for families when they need it. We want to work with families before they hit a mental health crisis.
- It involves both parents and children- we work with both, as both of you need to understand what’s happening and what you can do to move forward.
- We can support children struggling with overwhelming feelings such as fear, anxiety, anger and grief.
- Short term support to get you back onto safe ground (like a lifeboat) We offer a maximum of up to six session·
-
What TLC isn’t:
- Long term therapy
- For just the parents or just the child, its really important to us that we work with both of you.
- A way to get a diagnosis (if you need a diagnosis you need to go through your GP).
- A magic wand to improve things! To change behaviours and manage big feelings, getting you back on firm ground you will need to make changes. Following an initial assessment, you will need to follow the recommendations and interventions we will talk you through if you want to see progress.
