Breakthrough

Most families need support from time to time. Through skilled mediation, Breakthrough helps children (aged 10 to 16) and their families who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.

Through one-to-one support individuals are encouraged to identify their strengths and explore areas where changes in attitude and response may improve communication and relationships.

We encourage every individual to express their needs and feelings and to listen to the needs and feelings of others to build a greater understanding between family members.

Breakthrough also facilitates group workshops for parents and young people which include parenting skills, anger management, self-esteem and life skills.

We:

offer flexible and user-friendly support;
listen to the needs and views of all individuals without judging, blaming or taking sides;
identify and build on existing strengths;
treat individuals with respect and are honest and open;
offer knowledge of other agencies so that families can access the service most appropriate to their needs as quickly as possible.
