About us
What is Families First?
Families First aims to improve the lives of children, young people and families in Caerphilly. It aims to support whole families, not just individuals.
We support families at an early stage to provide support, advice, and guidance. We work with families who have a child or children from 0-25 years old.
We build on the strengths of the family and show them new ways of doing things. This helps them to feel more confident in dealing with difficulties they may face in the future.
How can Families First help you?
Bringing up a family is difficult, and we all need help and support at some time or other. Asking for help early on can often prevent things from getting worse or from reaching a crisis point.
We can help with a range of support needs such as:
- Team Around the Family (TAF) coordinated support
- Access to community provision (for children, young people & adults)
- Advocacy services
- Anti-social behaviour
- Domestic Abuse services
- Early Years (0-7 years): Pregnancy, speech & language, child behaviour & development
- Family engagement
- Financial support
- Parental support
- Wellbeing support
- Young Carers service

If you and your family need support, advice or guidance the Families First programme may be able to help.
