Strength in Relationships: Practice Model

Strength in Relationships Practice Model

Strength in Relationships is the Practice Model used by North Yorkshire Children and Families Service. It is a model that creates positive change that continues after support services for children and families are no longer needed to be involved. The goal is to create conditions that enable and allow relationships to flourish.

The Family Finding model seeks to build or maintain the youth’s Lifetime Family Support network for all children and young people who are disconnected or at risk of disconnection through being provided housing outside of their home and community. The process identifies relatives and other supportive adults, estranged from or unknown to the child, especially those who are willing to become permanent connections for them.
