Family Work
We believe it is important to work with the young person’s family in their rehabilitation back into the outside world through:
•Contact with family or next of kin
•Broker between family & social services or employers when necessary
•Opportunity to invite family members to Key4Life events to showcase the achievements of the young people  

This fulfils a number of roles:
•Reassurance & support to the family
•Helping with problems & providing an insight to both the family & Key4Life team
•Brings pride to the family
•Helps the wider community

We have been lucky enough to receive support from the Eranda Foundation enabling us to support 22 families in London and Somerset over the last year. Below shows just how the work we do directly effecs the families.
