Relationship Training For Professionals Working With Families
Who we are
Strengthening family relationships through evidence and experience
At Amity, we combine evidence-based knowledge with decades of frontline experience to strengthen relationships within families and professional practice. We understand the nuances of why relationships break down or struggle, and our expertise enables us to identify practical ways to make them work better.
What We Create
​
Relationships between children, parents, co-parents and extended family members will never be perfect. However, the ability to repair when things go wrong is essential to improving outcomes for children and fostering lasting, healthy connections. Everyone deserves strong and supportive relationships, and that begins with understanding and taking responsibility for our part within them.
​
We believe that with the right information, skills, and a foundation of kindness, it is possible to navigate even the most complex relationships and help families thrive. ​Amity acts as a broker between research and practice, turning evidence into practical tools, training and resources that build workforce confidence and improve support for families. Family life can be challenging.
​
We design structured, research-informed resources that draw on evidence from a range of disciplines, including:
Child development and attachment theory
Trauma-informed practice
Behaviour change and motivational interviewing
Systemic family work
Safeguarding and social care best practice

Our Approach
We believe that with the right knowledge, practical skills and a foundation of kindness, it is possible to navigate even the most complex family relationships and help children and families thrive. Amity acts a broker between research and practice, translating evidence into practical tools, training and resources that build workforce confidence and strengthen support for families.
​
Our work draws on evidence from child development, attachment, trauma-informed practice, behaviour change, systemic family practice and safeguarding. Everything we develop is designed to complement professional expertise, not replace it. We know every family is different.
That's why our resources provide structure and confidence while giving practitioners the flexibility to apply their professional judgement within their own local context. Grounded in evidence and shaped by practice, our aim is simple: to help practitioners have better conversations, make more informed decisions, and improve outcomes for children and families. We recognise that:
Families are diverse, which requires a diverse skillset in practice.
Practitioners bring valuable experience and insight, and require tools that can be adapted to different contexts, cultures, and complexities
Local areas are best placed to assess and understand what works within their own systems and communities
