Does Family Works share information with CYFS?
Does Family Works run parenting programmes in the weekend or after hours?
Parenting programmes are sometimes run outside business hours. Check out our events page to see what days and times our current programmes are running.
Does Family Works provide relationship counselling services?
Family Works focuses on children and families, so counselling centres around family relationships and dynamics. Specific counselling for children affected by abuse is offered at all sites. Adults and couples without children who want individual or couple counselling are referred to other appropriate agencies. Separated couples and other caregivers can seek support from our Family Works Resolution Services to sort out their childcare arrangements.
