FAMILY LIFE MATTERS AT CARE FOR THE FAMILY, we believe that every family should have somewhere to turn to for support in both the good times and when family life is challenging. So, for over thirty years we’ve worked to strengthen couples, equip parents and support those who have been bereaved. In many cases we’ve helped families strengthen their foundations, so they can stand against whatever comes their way in the future. And for others we’ve provided hope and support to allow them to begin to rebuild their lives. Here are some of the ways we’re able to do that.
FOR PARENTS WHATEVER SITUATION you are raising children in, we want to do all we can to support you in your parenting adventure and help you lay strong foundations for your children that will last a lifetime.
From speaking to countless parents, we know one of the main concerns mums and dads have are the rising levels of anxiety and struggles with mental health in children and young people. But we believe that you, as parents, have incredible power to help your children build strong emotional resilience.

It’s packed with practical and preventative tools for you to use at home and will explore the science of the mind and why children act and react the way they do.

interested in God or church. Our brand-new online event, Foundations for Life, will help you establish small yet foundational practices to nurture your child’s unique connection with God, both in church and at home, and inspire them to explore faith throughout their life.
