Welcome to Action4Families C.I.C.
Where healing, hope and transformation begin!
About Us
A Unique, Community-Based Approach across Derbyshire and Online!
We believe in transformation, hope, and the possibility of new life. Our work goes beyond therapy sessions alone, helping to create connected, trauma-informed communities where people can heal, grow, and thrive.
We know that children do best when the people around them feel supported too. That is why we work not only with individuals, but also with families, schools, professionals, and organisations. By strengthening the relationships and systems around people, we aim to create lasting change that reaches far beyond one-to-one support.
At Action4Families, we use a trauma-informed and relationship-based approach, drawing on psychology, neuroscience, attachment theory, and child development to help people understand their experiences, strengthen relationships, and move towards lasting change.
Our vision is to create safer, stronger, and more connected communities where children, young people, adults, and families can flourish, across Derbyshire and online. Through therapy, training, parent support, safeguarding, and professional development, we are committed to helping people feel valued, and empowered to move forward with hope.
Our Work is Built Around Five Key Areas
Child, Family and Adult Therapy – play therapy, creative counselling, and adult counselling to help people make sense of challenges, build resilience, and improve emotional wellbeing.
Relational Support – individual and group coaching for parents, alongside coach training, to strengthen relationships, reduce isolation, and help families feel more connected and supported.
Trauma-Informed Training and Communities – developing greater awareness of trauma, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing within schools, families, organisations, and communities.
Professional Training – placements, supervision, and CPD to build confidence, develop skills, and strengthen the quality of support available within communities.
Safe Foundations – safeguarding, training, and ethical practice to help professionals respond to concerns with confidence, reflection, and a safe, child-centred approach.
