Wondering about changing things?

When you have finished changing, you are finished.

Benjamin Franklin

It seems most people and most families have great times and go through periods when things are not how they want them to be. Common issues we can all struggle with include our relationships with others, how things are for our children, feelings of anxiety or depression and so forth. Sometimes it can be a combination of all these matters.

Often, we find we can get on and create the changes we need without a lot of worry or stress. At other times, making change can seem overwhelming and we can be at a loss for ideas about how to do things differently or even how to implement the changes we want to make. A good option if you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed can be to seek outside support to help identify and name the changes you want for yourself and your family.

Supporting families in creating change is what Homebuilders Family Services is all about. Our Family Support service is a free way to access professional support so you can work towards the improvements you are wanting. It could be a couple wanting to improve their communication and connect at a more meaningful level. This may include relating with each other in a more equal and respectful way. Perhaps a parent is feeling stuck and wanting new tools and approaches to help manage their child’s behaviour or their own behaviour towards their child. It may be that concern for what is happening in their child’s life
