Flourishing Families Service

February 2, 2023

Flourishing Families Service – MVRP Pilot Programme

YPAS is excited to announce we recently secured MVRP funding to provide a Whole Family Evidence Based Therapeutic Intervention Service.

Flourishing Families is an early and 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.

Flourishing Families / MVRP Outcomes:
1. Improve behaviour management/regulation
2. Improve social and emotional wellbeing
3. Reduce vulnerability and victimisation (bullying, criminality, violence)
4. Prevent perpetration/offending (bullying, criminality, violence, aggression – including siblings and/or parents)
5. Improve educational engagement (reduce risk of school exclusion)
6. Improve access to opportunities for employment and training
7. Enable recovery from trauma and adversity

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.
