Relationship Training For Professionals Working With Families

Imagine living in the UK, surrounded by first-world resources and opportunities, yet still being left behind because no one truly sees the reality of your lived experience. For too many children and families, this is the hidden truth. Despite access to schools, healthcare, and community services, their most fundamental needs for connection, stability, and belonging go unnoticed and unmet.

Healthy family relationships are the cornerstone of thriving communities.

 

When children feel wanted, loved, and supported by their caregivers, extended family, and community, they flourish socially, emotionally, and academically. Yet, meeting these relational needs requires a united effort from parents, practitioners, and strategic leaders alike to ensure every child’s basic emotional and relational needs are understood and fulfilled.

​

The good news is that nobody needs to reinvent the wheel to figure out how to respond to these challenges. Across the UK, innovative and impactful work is already being done to strengthen family relationships and address these critical issues. At the Connections That Count Summit, you’ll hear directly from the trailblazers who are leading the way. This is also your opportunity to shine a light on your own successes. Throughout the day, we’ll provide opportunities for attendees to share their achievements, celebrate best practices, and inspire others with the positive changes happening in their own communities.

​

This summit is your chance to explore, learn, and connect on some of the most pressing issues facing families today:

​

• Parenting in a complicated world: Tackling the challenges of raising children in a time of heightened influence from peers, technology, and societal pressures.

• Co-parenting in conflict: Addressing the impact of parental discord and entrenched conflict on children and finding pathways to healthier co-parenting dynamics.

• Child-to-parent abuse: Understanding and responding to the rise of violent or abusive behaviours by children toward caregivers or within their communities.

• Disengaged children: Identifying why children withdraw and how we can collectively help them re-engage with their families, schools, and communities.

• Strengthening the parent-child relationships: Empowering parents to rebuild strained relationships and feel confident in their ability to nurture and guide their children.

• Understanding the real role of fathers: Giving practitioners the confidence, and strategic leads the evidence to help see Dads as crucial in their parenting role within a sector that sometimes ignores their influence.​

 

When family relationships are under strain, the ripple effects can jeopardise children’s educational, social, and emotional outcomes. Early identification and intervention is essential which makes frontline practitioners, community leaders, and strategic decision-makers uniquely positioned to make this work happen.

This summit is for you - the people who shape practice, strategy, and services for families. Join us for a full day of learning from national leaders in policy and practice who are breaking the mould and transforming family services. Together, we can ensure that no child’s relational needs go unmet.
