What do they offer?

Support for Parents

They support parents by offering free parenting courses which are designed for any parent wanting to invest in and strengthen their relationship with their child.

Using Care for the Family’s ‘Time out for Parents’ course material, Jen (from FMY) organises courses each half term that are delivered by her trained parenting facilitators that relate to different stages of family life. These FREE parenting courses aim to build family relationships and provide a safe space to share the parenting journey.

They run a selection of their courses and events every half term with a mixture of in person and online courses during the day or on an evening.

How can I access their parenting courses?

Support for Couples

FMY seek to help couples stay connected to each other and invest in their relationship. They put on regular one off ‘Time Out for Couples’ events to help couples to proactively invest in their relationship as well as offering their 5 session ‘Reconnect’ service, which is a couple-to-couple mentoring service introducing couples to basic relationship skills and positive relationship habits.

For more information about our Time Out for Couples events visit: Time Out for Couples | Family Matters York (fmy.org.uk)

Emma (from FMY) matches client couples with their own trained Support Couple to guide them through the five sessions. Together they look at ways the client couple can embed relationship skills like active listening, positive communication, building emotional connection and effective conflict resolution into their relationship.
