About us
Family Futures is a not for profit adoption agency, fostering agency and therapy centre, rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2022 for the fourth consecutive time.
We specialise in providing assessment and treatment services for care experienced children who are traumatised or have attachment difficulties, as well as providing support to adoptive parents, special guardians, kinship carers and foster carers.
In March 2023 we opened an additional service, the Family Futures Wellbeing Hub, which offers a range of therapies to children and young people who need support with their mental health and wellbeing.
We believe:
- every child, parent and family has a right to the highest standard of professional practice based on the most up-to-date theory and research
- in working collaboratively and openly with parents and families
- it is important to take a holistic approach to child and family development and to encompass all aspects of individual and family functioning to achieve the best outcomes
- we are committed to ensuring the future sustainability of the organisation to achieve our vision for families now and into the future.
Family Futures has an international reputation as a centre of excellence for its assessment and treatment programmes for children who are traumatised or have attachment difficulties. We have an integrated multidisciplinary team and our therapy programme is based upon a neurosequential approach to treating traumatised children.
Our model of therapy (Neuro-Physiological Psychotherapy) is research-evidenced to significantly improve outcomes for children in all areas of their development. We offer a training and consultation service to professionals, parents and carers which aims to disseminate the latest thinking on supporting children and young people to heal from early trauma.
