Flourishing Families: A Success Story in Liverpool.

At the beginning of 2023, we launched our 21-month pilot programme, Flourishing Families designed to provide a Whole Family Evidence-Based Therapeutic Intervention Service to 209 families in Liverpool. This programme will now be coming to an end on September 30th, 2024.

Flourishing Families was an early prevention service aimed at families whose family system consists of children and or young people aged 5-25 years and are identified as having been exposed to trauma and or adversity impacted by violence.

Here are what some of our participants have said about the programme:

While the program has been highly successful and we are actively seeking funding, we can no longer accept new referrals due to overwhelming demand.

The team is committed to ensuring current families receive the best possible support during the exit strategy and continues to advocate for the importance of family services’. An independent evaluation of the program’s impact is also underway.

Here are some comments from our practitioners who worked with families on the programme:

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
