Relationships

We have a range of relationships in our lives that can sometimes overwhelm us. This page covers support available for some of the different situations we may find ourselves in.

Relationships support

Changes in relationships are quite common and fall outs do happen. It’s important that you know where to turn for help and how to resolve any issues. Take a look at some the information leaflets below:

Reducing parental conflict

Conflict and arguments between adults in a family can be harmful to children when it’s frequent and not resolved. This doesn’t mean that adults can’t argue - arguing can sometimes be a normal part of healthy relationships, if both people can compromise and solve problems together.

The main thing is learning how to communicate and argue better. Children who see their parents and carers arguing well, learn problem solving skills of their own.

Neighbour disputes

If you live near noisy neighbours, barking dogs, loud music etc., it can affect your mental health and wellbeing, especially when it’s continuous.

The best way, if you feel comfortable, is to speak to your neighbour. However, if this isn’t an option, your local borough or district council can support you:

When someone dies

There’s no right or wrong way to feel when someone close to you dies. It’s important to know that help is available if you need someone to talk to.

Family and friends are often the best people to turn to. Most schools also have pastoral teams that can support your child with issues during this difficult time.
