Family Matters York Christmas Update

Hi!

The run up to Christmas can be exciting and full of wonder. Children are counting down the days till Christmas Day; there are concerts, nativities and carol services galore; and our streets and homes are lit up with an array of twinkling lights and colourful decorations. For many families, Christmas can be a truly joyful time.

But some families will be struggling – dealing with many demands and challenges, facing financial pressures, parenting children who are overwhelmed, and noticing strains in their relationships. And some people will be noticing that they have drifted apart from their loved ones and feel the need to reconnect.

We are here to help local families!

Through our FREE courses, events and mentoring we support parents to nurture their relationships with their children, and we support couples to deepen their connection. Scroll down to see what’s coming up in 2025.

To explain more about who we help and how, we’ve made a brand new video!

Upcoming Family Matters Courses

Please see below information from York Family Matters about their courses and events starting in November.

Hello!

Trick or treat?!

Family life and parenting can be full of sweet surprises and unexpected joys. Whether it is seeing your child enjoying splashing in puddles, kicking carefree through the autumn leaves or snuggling up for a cuddle, parenting can be a real treat! But, it can also be tricky. Whether it is facing an unexpected meltdown, dealing with squabbling & fighting, or daily battles over screentime, parenting can leave us feeling confused, drained and isolated.

However you are feeling this Autumn, Family Matters York is here to help support you. We offer FREE parenting and couples support to help you make small steps of change in your relationships. As a result of our courses & events, 92% parents said they felt more confident in their parenting and 78% parents noted improvements in their relationship with their child.

Why don’t you sign up TODAY for a course? We hope that you too will experience improvements in your relationships and find support in knowing that you are not alone!

June-July Family Matters Courses and Events

Please see below information from York Family Matters about their upcoming courses and events.

Feeling frazzled?

Feeling the heat and pressure of family life? Join our Parenting courses & events to discover ways to stay cool and calm in the middle of it all.

Sunshine and blue skies beckon (although there are no guarantees with the British weather!). As the summer approaches, we look forward to cloudless skies, BBQ’s and relaxing with friends and family. But as the temperatures rise, so can the heat in our family life! Tempers can fray with the longer days; our patience can be stretched to the limits with the season of school exams. At Family Matters York, we understand!

We would love to support you and your family in helping you to stay cool this summer. We offer FREE parenting courses & events across the city to give you a safe space to learn and share ideas with others, to help make your family life more enjoyable this summer. Sign up to our parenting courses – starting soon: https://fmy.org.uk/york/ We would love to see you. For an overview of our upcoming June/July 2023 courses, click hereFamily Matters York
