Children and Families Wellbeing Support, Sheffield & South Yorkshire

Free specialist child and family therapy service for children, families and schools, aimed at helping refugee children and families who have settled in South Yorkshire, and schools with refugee children in attendance.

Please note that the Sheffield office is closed except for booked appointments. If you require assistance and do not have an appointment, please contact us by email or telephone.

Our therapists and interpreters specialise in working with refugee children and families. Through early intervention and crisis point management, we help children feel safe and secure, enable them to benefit from education, and support them in understanding and expressing themselves.

We can also help parents/carers and teachers to understand and manage the child’s difficulties.
