Benefits of participating in the parent support group:
OPTION 2 – Solution Focus Family support – Available in office or online. FBS supports families experiencing child to parent abuse from ages 6-18.
Sessions are weekly/fortnightly or monthly and there is no fixed end date – tailor made to meet individual requirements of each family. Family Based Solutions (FBS) uses the Solution Focused Approach when working with families. This way of working looks at the families’ strengths and when the problem is absent or less severe.
The family is in the role of the expert rather than the facilitator as only they understand the problems and challenges, they face daily. The very first meeting begins with what the families will see as their preferred outcome from the work. The preferred outcome is then worked towards by the whole family in small manageable steps. The approach is very much a collaboration working with the families on targets that matter to them rather than being directive and forced. The work continues while there are positive improvements, and the meetings are tapered off to bi-weekly then monthly.
OPTION 3 – Domestic Abuse Recovery Programme. Weekly online group sessions or tailor made 1:1 options.
This service is available to parents/carers that have experienced any form of domestic abuse and are no longer living with or in contact it their abuser.
Parents will explore:
OPTION 4 – Family Based Relationships programme This service is suitable for adults wanting to replace problematic/abusive behaviours with positive behaviours. Weekly Individual or group sessions online or office based.
The programme is for adults deemed as low to mid level perpetrators who have been identified (or have self-identified) as having issues relating to violence, abuse and controlling behaviours within past relationships.
The programme is bespoke to each individual as their solution behaviours will be different for each person and will be aimed at their preferred future. This means that adults work towards what they want in their lives moving forward and how this will benefit them and their relationships. An online pre-assessment will be conducted before the individual can attend the programme.
