Welcome to Family Links

Family Links is a registered charity promoting emotional literacy, nurturing and relationship skills in families, schools and communities. Our aim is to help everyone – children, young people and adults alike –to get the best out of school and family life.

We do this by training professionals to deliver the Nurturing Programme. Family Links works with, and trains staff in, many statutory and voluntary organisations across the UK.

The Nurturing Programme

Available for children and young people in schools and for parents in the community, the Nurturing Programme provides simple, effective tools to help people understand and manage feelings and behaviour.

Based on the Four Constructs, the Nurturing Programme works effectively with all children in any setting and all parents in both group and one to one situations.

The Parenting Puzzle

The Parenting Puzzle is Family Links’ guidebook through the Nurturing Programme for parents and professionals.

Presented in a friendly informal way, The Parenting Puzzle encourages parents and carers to enjoy bringing up children and to get the best out of family links.
