Specialist Intensive Family Therapeutic Support

The Council has awarded the contract for the provision for a multi-disciplinary specialist service providing high level intensive support for children, young people and parents/carers with high level complex need. This multi-disciplinary specialist service will use a range of innovative methods to work with 'hard to reach' young people and their families. It will use a whole system approach to address health and well-being as well as educational and social needs. The interventions will be used throughout the Council's internal teams that will include their prevention services, child protection and social care. Interventions will need to respond quickly to requests to ensure these complex families can have this service at a time when they need it and when they are ready to engage. The service will be co-located within the City of Wolverhampton Specialist Support Services.
