Systemic Family Work
The SIS team support young people and their families/carers. Systemic family work helps families to work on their relationships and brings them together to talk about their problems and experiences as a family.
We try to incorporate everyone who is important to the family, which might include siblings and/or grandparents. We can work with caregivers separately as well as having everyone in the room. We believe the success of systemic family work comes from involving the family systems and the team around the child. We can also offer one-to-one systemic work with young people to help them make sense of their life experiences and family circumstances.
We also ensure that geography is not a barrier to accessing services; systemic practitioners travel across the country to visit families in their homes. In addition, we offer groups for parents and carers to help them feel supported and included.
