| Name of Organisation: | Family Action |
| Headline: | Helping Families |
| What We Do: | The charity has been a leading provider of services to disadvantaged and socially isolated families since its foundation in 1869. We work with over 45,000 children and families a year by providing practical, emotional and financial support through over 100 services based in communities across England. A further 150,000 people benefit from our educational grants and information service. We tackle some of the most complex and difficult issues facing families today – including domestic abuse, mental health problems, learning disabilities and severe financial hardship.
These issues have a huge impact on the wellbeing and development of children; and on the ability of parents and carers to make a positive contribution to their community. We work with whole families to help them find solutions to problems, no matter how difficult, so that they become safer, stronger and more optimistic about their future

| Services Offered: | At Family Action we know that families come in all shapes and sizes. When we talk about families we don’t only mean people related by blood or marriage; we believe that families have a right to define themselves. No matter how they are constructed, Family Action is committed to supporting families to realise their potential.
Through a range of our services, Family Action is able to plug the gap through which families with complex needs often fall, keeping children safe while addressing their long term needs: Building Bridges services - supporting children and parents where the parent has an enduring mental health problem. Perinatal Project - supporting mothers at risk of depression during their pregnancy and up to one year after the birth of their child. Valuing Families services - where parents have learning difficulties. Newpin services - intensive support to mothers and fathers of children under 5 whose mental health is impacting on their ability to provide safe parenting. WellFamily services - holistic support to families linked to GP practices. Download a leaflet on our Parental Mental Health Services. |
