The Family Support Team work with those who are struggling with everyday challenges in their own home.

Many of the people we support have experienced trauma and change can be a real struggle.  Working with a Trauma Informed Approach, we will walk alongside the family so they can identify their priorities and take ownership of their own future.

Working with the whole family, we assist in helping them to find their own resolutions and to create an environment that enables them all to flourish and build upon their independence.

Families can be complex and when additional challenges such as low income, housing inequalities, domestic and mental health issues are present, seeing a brighter future is often just a pipe dream.

We are not a time limited service and will support the family as long as they think we can help.

Having children can be isolating and it is common that parents may lack friendships or the confidence to go out.  We deliver various community groups where the whole family can come into a safe space where they can grow their peer support network and spend time together. We also run a range of days out in the summer holidays.

Referrals – Anyone can refer to the service, but we ask the families permission is sought first.  Although many of our referrals come from our statutory partners, we encourage self referrals.

Self referrals can email us at info@guildfordaction.org.uk or call 01483 560003 for a chat.

Family Days

Having children can be isolating and its common that people lack friendships and socialisation.  Our Family Days are run in the community and aim to reduce boredom, feelings of loneliness and isolation. We have sessions for the whole family and activities that promote development of the children with their parents.

Lots of the children we see have fewer opportunities than they should have so we will support in accessing out of school groups and clubs.  For more information please refer using the attached form.
