Child Mental Health | Family Conflict
Coram has published a free Family Harmony Toolkit for professionals working with families to reduce the impact of harmful conflict on children’s mental health. The toolkit offers a framework to help practitioners support families experiencing difficulties in communication and additional pressures on family life such as transitions and supporting a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) which may exacerbate conflict. It is based on Coram's Family Harmony Intervention and provides practical resources, including session guides and activities that draw from family therapy, music therapy and art therapy interventions. Session guides and activities can be used as part of a planned programme or in isolation, in groups or with individual families. An evaluation of the Family Harmony Intervention has also been published.
