Our family therapeutics programme is a pioneering three-year project to provide 1-2-1 casework support to local families in crisis. This is a face-to-face service but there is demand to offer both online and telephone support sessions to widen engagement.

We are looking for a volunteer for the following: - To be the main support volunteer for the family therapeutics programme - To support everyone who attends an appointment as part of the family therapeutics programme - To feedback on the project to the coordinator as needed.
