Families Together - Support for children, young people and families
What Kirklees Families Together is
Here in Kirklees, we recognise that family life can be rewarding but not always easy. The need for help and support can come at any time.
Families Together is designed to bring services together to work with families from conception, through childhood, into adolescence and up to 25 years if that young person has SEND (special educational needs and/or disability).
Kirklees Families Together offers information, advice, help and support from a range of services. This can include access to:
- help being a parent or carer
- emotional wellbeing and mental health support
- services for children under 5
- support and activities for children and young people
- adult learning and support for employment
Request support from the Families Together Gateway
Young people, parents, carers, and professionals who are working with families can request support using our online form.
