The Families Feeling Safe Programme

We developed an evidence-based programme for parents and carers of children and teenagers aged 0-19 years – ‘Families Feeling Safe Programme’

to enable parents and carers to take charge of their lives by helping them recognise how feelings, thoughts and behaviour are linked and how to help their children:

Express their feelings in a responsible way
Develop problem solving skills to help them feel safe
Recognise and trust their feelings
Improve relationships and communication
Improve their emotional wellbeing

The Families Feeling Safe programme helps families to:

Be healthy
Be safe
Be ambitious
Be independent
Be happy
Be resilient

Each parent and carer will receive their own workbook with activities to try at home. The workbook was developed in partnership with parents and carers who attended the course.

Using this programme, Families Feeling Safe won bids from both Hertfordshire County Council and Hertfordshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) to provide services and training to schools, children’s centres and voluntary organisations amongst others.

I have been calmer in my dealing with my daughter. I feel our relationship has improved as a result. I think the whole course has been very useful and I feel lucky to have been given the opportunity to attend
