Walk the Walk Family Support Service works directly in the community alongside families in crisis or those who are having challenges that are starting to become difficult to manage. We offer advice, guidance and practical solutions, but more importantly help families to work together and communicate more effectively to prevent family breakdown.
We are trauma informed, working closely with a Consultant Clinical Psychologist to best support families who may be suffering with anxiety, depression, stress as well as unresolved childhood trauma and neglect themselves.
We are here to listen and walk with you to a happier, healthier family life. Our dedicated and highly skilled team includes Family Support Workers and Qualified Counsellors, and you can be sure of a responsive, kind and compassionate service from Walk the Walk.
We will talk to and actively listen to each member of the family, non-judgmentally and empathetically. We will prepare for open conversations with families, and where needed will stop our own “conversation” about them.
We will work with families to develop positive, achievable steps towards their goal. We will celebrate success. We will hold on to and express hope with the families.
We will research and prepare for cultural and religious contexts of families. We will ask families how they want us to work with them. We will work to understand their perspectives.
We will actively discuss with families issues of wellbeing, safety and their development. We will ensure each case is risk assessed and we will work collaboratively with each family to positively manage risk and develop strategies.
We will use Conversational leadership to achieve best possible outcomes in collaboration with others. We will always ask families to tell us their solutions to the problems they face.
