Firststop Family Mediation Service

The breakdown of family communication has been identified as the central cause of youth homelessness. In response to this, Gloucestershire Nightstop are working together with Tewkesbury Borough Council to provide support for young people, aged 16-25 with their family connections and conversations.

“We are providing an opportunity for young people and their parents/carers to talk things through during difficult times. Engagement is voluntary, and my intention is to support everyone’s need to be heard and understood.  The process is compassionately held and client led, with any outcomes and practical solutions decided upon by all involved, helping families to find solutions that work for them ” Clare, Family Mediator

This service is currently a pilot project and covers the Tewkesbury Borough only.
