Focus Family work supports professionals to work in a holistic family centred way. Evidence suggests this approach helps to maintain improvements in a family.
The drive for Focus Family work is to help adults into employment / volunteering / training with the aim that mental health & emotional wellbeing is improved and the family move out of poverty.
The Focus Family Team has identified enough families to meet our commitment for Phase 2 of The Troubled Families Project. Currently, we plan to deliver the same level of support to families and agencies until March 2020.
The phase 2 Focus Family criteria are:
- ASB/Crime
- Not attending school regularly
- Worklessness
- Domestic Abuse
- Health
- Children who need help
