Families First

Everyone needs a bit of extra support from time to time.

Having a team around your family will help to bring people together who can help you and your family, to work with you to find solutions and bring about change. This is called the Torfaen Family Support Programme and it works together with children, young people and their families.

Families First provides support across Torfaen. Referrals may be made by a professional and families may self-refer.

Following referral they will discuss with you the most appropriate support to meet your family’s needs. A family support assessment may be undertaken which is based on families strengths and needs. This assessment will help to identify and understand any support required. Alternatively it may be that parenting support is offered in the first instance.

A step by step summary about the process of referring into Families First can be viewed in the Torfaen Family Support Programme - Information for Parents/Carers booklet.
