Care for the Family

Call Directions Website

Our aim as a charity is to promote strong family relationships and to help those who face family difficulties.

Care for the Family is a UK charity committed to strengthening family life. The impact when things go wrong can be devastating, but we believe every family should have somewhere to turn to in the tough times and put down strong roots in the good times to see through the storms when they come. We provide support, online and in person, for parents, couples and those who are bereaved, through events, courses, podcasts, volunteer befrienders, books and other evidence-based, accessible resources. We also train those who work with families whether in a professional or informal capacity. Our work is motivated by Christian compassion, and our resources and support are available to everyone, of any faith or none.

November is upon us and that can only mean one thing… 🎄

We asked our staff whether it’s too early for a mince pie or if they’ve already scoffed a whole pack?! (Looking at our graphic designer 👀)

Many grieving people worry deeply about disappointing others when they need to say no, step back, or simply don’t have the capacity they once had.

What can look like distance, silence, or withdrawal is often the reality of someone carrying a profound loss while trying to keep going.

They may be doing their best to navigate an experience that has changed them forever.

Sometimes they don’t reply. Sometimes they cancel plans. Sometimes they need space, or seem different from the person you once knew.

Recognising this can help us create space for grief, without placing extra pressure on those already carrying so much.

A couple of weeks ago our annual Mountain Dad weekend away took place in beautiful North Wales. It was an amazing time where Dads and their kids came to spend quality time with each other exploring the great outdoors and making memories ⛰️🍂

It can be difficult to know how to talk with your child about their additional needs, their diagnosis, and what it may mean for them as they grow.

Every child is different, and these conversations will look different for every family, but having open, honest and age-appropriate discussions can help your child better understand themselves and feel supported.

Swipe for some helpful thoughts on navigating these conversations together. 💛
