Wellbeing for families and young people

Financial support for families with children

Support for families in financially challenging situations

Financial difficulties can affect the wellbeing of the whole family in many ways. They may reduce parents’ ability to cope with everyday life, limit social contacts, and cause worry, stress or low mood. They can make day-to-day coping harder, reduce social contacts and lead to mood-related symptoms. Don’t face your worries alone! Support and help are available.
