Bolster Community is the lead organisation for the Newry and Mourne Family Support Hub (FSH) and they work in partnership with a range of statutory and voluntary organisations to identify solutions for families facing challenges.
Referrals to the family support hub can include families or individuals requiring support to cope with physical and mental health problems, family breakdown, parenting difficulties, financial problems and social and rural isolation. Each month the panel collectively decide which service if the most appropriate support for families referred in by GPs, schools, health visitors or parents themselves.
Bolster Community family support services are often the most appropriate early intervention support for families – last year 102 families were supported through our Southern Health & Southern Care Trust funded Early Intervention & Prevention Project.
Their highly skilled and experienced family support team offer bespoke services tailored to meet the individual needs of families. This may include emotional support for parents and children, practical home-based support, parenting advice, signposting and assistance in accessing other services, grants and financial help.
