The toolkit, developed by the Creative Therapy Service at children’s charity Coram, in collaboration with the Department for Work and Pensions, provides practical resources such as session guides and activities.
These draw from family therapy, music therapy, and art therapy technique and can be used as part of a planned programme or in isolation, in groups or with individual families.
Families likely to benefit the most are those with additional pressures that exacerbate conflict, such as supporting a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
It is based on Coram’s Family Harmony Intervention, described by the charity as an “innovative and strengths-based programme” with a “strong emphasis on healthy communication” including “attentive listening and calming techniques”.
