Modern families are constantly evolving. New family structures are formed as couples divorce or separate, managing the impact this has upon the wider family, children in particular, can be demanding. A new programme from Family Support Partnership Lanarkshire, Family Change, will support families across South Lanarkshire through major transitional periods. We will deliver a total of three new intensive services, complimenting our existing mediation and counselling work:

- Time to Talk (Child counselling for children aged 5-11 who are experiencing family change, such as parental conflict, separation/divorce or the introduction of a new step family)

- Couple Care (Relationship counselling specifically targeted at parents in order to promote safer, more positive family environments)

- Parenting Apart (Three hour programme which will allow parents to better understand how their separation will impact upon their children and how they can better manage contact with their children post-separation)

All three service will be launched late-October 2008, information will be available on Family Support nearer that date.

If you'd like to find out more about any of the upcoming Family Change services, please call 01698 421 333.
