Early Intervention Family Support (EIFS) is designed to offer early intervention, preventative support and guidance and advice to parents and families to help deal with issues and problems as soon as they emerge. 

This will help to increase the chances of a young person and their family achieving positive outcomes and prevent problems getting worse.

• Give children, young people and families a chance to be listened to.
• Help with difficult behaviour and feelings.
• Discuss different ways of parenting and introduce some new ideas.
• Help find a way forward that's right for the family.

• Working with the family together or individually with parents or children.
• Learning together as a family.
• Pointing them in the right direction, for example the Citizens Advice Bureau or health services.
• The family and the school working together.
