The Listening Ear
Support for young people affected by parental separation
Our Listening Ear project offers short-term support for young people who are experiencing separation of their parents. In such circumstances, it is recognised that many young people find it beneficial to have the opportunity to share their views and feelings with someone outside of their family.
We offer sessions in a neutral, confidential space where young people:
- will feel listened to
- know their views are validated and respected
- begin to feel less isolated, more secure
- are able to express difficult feelings openly
- can start to make sense of what’s happening
- can work out ways of coping and moving forward
Our support workers are experienced in working with young people whose parents are in mediation; this project is also open to young people whose parents are not in mediation.
Referrals can be made directly by young people aged 16+; for under 16s, referrals may be made by a parent, school or other agency that may be supporting the child and/or family.
