Family Wellbeing has been developed to improve the health and wellbeing of some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children and families in West Cumbria by:
Encouraging a whole-family approach, supporting parents and families to engage and actively support their children’s development
Supporting children to build emotional resilience, particularly at critical transition points in their lives
Acknowledging the importance of early years (0-5 years) interventions and the need for intensive family-centered support.
The Foundation recognizes that to really transform children’s life chances, they need sustained interventions that meet the diversity of their needs and that participation and co-production must be a key component of any service.
