Happy homes, happy children, happy lives

Relationships are tricky and experience ups and downs. They can change over time and can be impacted by life’s events. You may often find it hard to talk to your partner, or ex-partner, and may find it difficult to resolve disagreements about things such as parenting your children, spending money, chores around the home, who sees the children and when, or added life pressures. All of this can cause family life to be unhappy.

If this is happening with you, your partner, or ex-partner, whether you are living together or not, it is more likely that your child will become upset, anxious or angry and this may be reflected in their behaviour or attitude towards you, your partner, or ex-partner.

Wherever you are in your parenting journey and relationship journey, we have information and tools to help you learn how to cope with stress and communicate better.  

Support for inter-parental conflict project (SIPCO)

One of the support options available is through the SIPCo project. If you have a child between the age of eight and 14 years old and would like to improve your communication with your child’s other parent/carer, you can be supported through this new research project. 

You can find out more about support available for all families regardless of your child, or young person's age by clicking on the tiles below.
