Relationships Matter – Support for Parental Conflict

We understand that conflict can be a normal part of all relationships. It’s not the conflict that is the problem but how we deal with it. Research shows that ongoing or unresolved conflict can have a damaging effect on our own relationships and on our children’s wellbeing and happiness.

Visit our Relationships Matter page which includes tools and videos to support you, and information on where you can go for further advice and support: Wakefield Families Together – Relationship Matters (relationshipsmatter.org.uk)
