At the YMCA, we care about every stage of a young person's life, which is why we offer support for their parents and families.
For most young people, their families play a significant and positive role in their lives. But for others, family life can be an unhappy experience. Many struggle with issues arising from divorce, re-marriage, absent parents and various other challenges. When families break down, young people are deeply affected; one young person (under 16) in every nine will run way from home.
YMCAs provide a range of family programmes including parenting support schemes, flexible childcare and specific projects to support families who are facing serious challenges.
Contact your local YMCA to find out what parenting services they can offer.
