Up2U Family Practice is a program to help people change their behaviour, manage their thoughts and feelings and have healthier relationships.

Who it is for

This programme is for parents and carers with unhealthy relationships with children, partners, family members, professionals and other adults - especially if there is parental conflict or low-risk domestic abuse.

It can also be used by children and young people using unhealthy behaviours towards parents, siblings, friends, other children or adults.

This is only suitable for low-risk cases.

How to refer

Social workers can check to see if this programme is suitable for someone. They will be asked to complete a short referral form and checklist, and will be invited to a monthly panel meeting to discuss the case further.

It might be that the Up2U: Creating Healthy Relationships programme is more suitable in some cases.
