Supporting Families Through Early Help

When families are under pressure, it can feel overwhelming. Many families tell us they feel judged, isolated, or worried that asking for help will make things worse. Challenges around children’s mental health, school attendance, behaviour or family relationships can quickly build up without the right support. We are here to change that through early, practical, whole-family support that helps families stabilise, rebuild confidence and prevent difficulties from escalating into crisis.

Our trained Link Workers walk alongside families to help them make positive, lasting change. We work with the whole family, meeting people where they are and focusing on what matters most to them.

How we help

Support is delivered mainly in the family home, helping to remove barriers and ensuring families feel listened to rather than judged. Link Workers provide consistent, one-to-one support for parents, alongside direct work with children and young people at home or in school. This is relational, preventative support that builds trust over time. We stay alongside families as they navigate challenges, helping them find practical solutions, strengthen relationships and move forward with confidence.

 

 

What we offer

  • Weekly home-based support from a dedicated Link Worker.
  • Whole-family mentoring tailored to individual needs.
  • Support with parenting, routines and boundaries.
  • Help navigating school, health and other services.
  • Advocacy to ensure families’ voices are heard.
  • Coordination with professionals, including acting as Lead Professional where appropriate.
  • Consistent, relationship-based support focused on long-term change.
Hands on shoulder

What makes our support different?

Families engage with Vennture because they choose to, not because they are compelled to. That matters. We are independent from statutory services and focus on trust, not compliance. Our Link Workers do not arrive with fixed solutions. Instead, they listen carefully, build relationships, and work at the family’s pace. When situations are complex or progress is slow, we do not step away. We remain alongside families, appropriately managing risk and helping prevent the need for crisis intervention.
