Welcome to Family Well-being   Family Well-being is a ‘whole approach’ to supporting children, young people and families in their local communities, to promote emotional health and family well being and provides the following services:                Family Group                         Jigsaw                   Young Carers              Conference                              Familywise                        Youth Justice                                                                        Service  Parents, carers and families are the most important influence on outcomes for children and young people.  Meeting parents needs, as early and effectively as possible is therefore vital to promoting and achieving family and social well-being. The significance of parenting to improve child outcomes has been increasingly central to policy formation on family issues. The Childrens Act 2004, The National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services, The Childcare Act 2006, Every Disabled Child Matters, The Respect Action Plan 2006 and Social Exclusion Plan 2006 all highlight the importance of parenting as a factor in improving outcomes for children, young people and their families.   “Parents stress the crucial importance of getting the right help at the right time.” (Supporting Parents, Safeguarding - Commission for Social Care Inspection, Feb 2006)   CANW works within the Every Child Matters framework and promotes the five key outcomes: Be Healthy Stay Safe Enjoy & Achieve Make a Positive Contribution Achieve Economic Well-being CANW promotes ‘Family Well-being’ through a solution focused approach and recognise that families have strengths, resources and the ability to resolve the challenge they face in life and we understand that change is always possible and always happening; small changes lead to more changes, and there is always more than one way to look at a situation. Solution focused intervention focuses on peoples strength, competence and possibilities instead of their deficits, weaknesses and limitations.
