Support for them should aim to build resilience and be empowering, individualised, age appropriate, it should improve knowledge and access to those with lived experience. Types of support for families could include: Volunteer Mentors, Befriending, Psychological, Practical, Information, Advice, Social, Peer support, Advocacy, Parenting skills and behavioural support.
