Family Support Services

Being a parents or carer is not always easy and can often present complex challenges.  Sometimes these challenges may develop into a worry or difficult situation that may start to impact the functioning and happiness of a family and home, engagement with school and it may start to feel like it is not possible to find a solution. If you do have any concerns about your child then please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss how we can support with the NWHS Early Help Offer.  Alternatively, please use the links below to find our information from support groups that may help provide advice and guidance.

Worcestershire Family Information Service (FIS) advisors give impartial information on childcare, finances, parenting and education. FIS are a useful source of information for parents and professionals.
