Sefton Council is launching a campaign today to promote positive relationships and reduce conflict within families. The campaign aims to encourage parents to take time to think about their relationships with other adults and the impact, good and bad, this can have on children and young people.

The Council have teamed up with Relationkit.co.uk to launch a brand new website with free online resources to give parents and carers some support with their relationship. It’s mobile-friendly and easy to use and parents in Sefton can start using the site from today. 

There are videos, mindfulness sessions and downloadable cards to help with some really common things like struggling to communicate well with your partner, raising kids together, and parenting after break-up.

The Council will also be promoting resources to help with communication, relationships, parenting and stress management all week on social media.

Cllr Mhairi Doyle, Cabinet Member for Children’s Social Care said:

“I am so glad to see the Council promoting positive relationships this week and Relationkit is really valuable tool to understand how small changes in the way adults communicate with each other can have a big impact on our children and young people.

“No relationship is perfect and every family experiences stressful, emotional moments but there are great resources available to those people who may need support on how to navigate these situations.”
