25 years of helping families heal

What do people say about Family Futures?

Children and young people

When I grow up I want to work for Family Futures as it is somewhere where everyone feels safe.

Family Futures are an exceptional organisation who have helped me more than I can possibly say. They helped me understand myself, more about my past and they taught me that the past doesn’t define you…You can go on to do incredible things. They taught me you are so much more than your trauma.

Families

Family Futures provide an outstanding service that is truly life changing for the children and families they provide therapy. Our children were assessed at Family Futures in November 2021 and have been receiving a comprehensive therapy package since March 2022. I can honestly say that from first contact to now Family Futures have been our lifeline.

4 years ago an incredible little girl joined our family. Her journey has been a long one; her history one of trauma and dreadful neglect, but her future is bright due to the help of Family Futures.

Training attendees

Extremely inspiring. I really cannot wait to start the preparation and use the resources and strategies of the course to start Life Story work.

Excellent resources [on Siblings] for the wider professional community – a leader in changing culture!

Parents with iAdopt adoption service

I left the Family Futures assessment and training process feeling as well prepared as anyone possibly could be for the challenges and joys that adoption will present.

 We both found the assessment process incredibly rewarding.

Dr Daniel Hughes, founder of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP):

Family Futures has always been a remarkable organisation to provide a wide range of specialised services for adoptive families and professionals throughout the UK. What is even more remarkable is that they keep getting better at what they do so well.

All of us at Family Futures would like to thank the parents and children who have trusted us enough to come here and who have taught us more about the experience of adoption than any book in any library.

We would also like to thank the staff who have worked here over the years, who have engaged in what at times is emotionally challenging and demanding therapeutic work, and we thank the following who have guided our thinking along with other neuroscientists and creative art therapists: Dan Hughes (DDP), Phyllis Booth (Theraplay®), Jean Ayres (Sensory Integration), Peter Levine and Bruce Perry.
