Welcome

I have been supporting families within Early Years and Health settings for the last 30 years

At Pastures Way we understand that many children and families experience difficult times which can make a happy, successful school and home life a struggle.  If you have worries or concerns about your child, you can always talk to their class teacher as they know your child and can work with you to address the issues.  However, for whatever reasons, you might not feel able to or there may be other problems which parents/carers need some help with.

One of the roles of a Family Worker is to work closely with children and families who may be experiencing difficulties, this could be as simple as a misunderstanding with friends or it could be a more complex issue such as bereavement or a change in family circumstances.  It may be that support is needed for a short while or it could be a longer process. We can provide 1-1 support with:

Listening and appreciating parents/carers issues and offer suggestions and advice for individuals and families on behaviour management, boundaries, fussy eating, routines, school attendance, e-safety, toilet training and healthy eating to name a few

We can also refer and signpost to other services available with Luton

Working with and supporting families during key school transition, including newcomers and help to fill out forms for moving onto infant/primary schools

Working with families who are going through difficulties times including relationship breakdown, bereavement and mental well-being

Supporting families who are suffering from and financial hardship by sign posting for budgeting advice or issuing a food bank voucher

If you need support, please contact Maria

Men experience domestic abuse, too.

We understand how difficult it can be if you are a man experiencing domestic abuse or other forms of violence. You might feel scared, isolated, and confused. You might feel ashamed or afraid to tell anyone about your situation. But you are not alone - there is support available.

Refuge primarily supports women and their children; but we believe no person should live in fear of abuse - including men. We may be able to help you through our one-stop shops or community support services.

You can also contact The Men's Advice Line, a specialist provider for men experiencing domestic abuse.
