Family Focus
The Nelson Trust Family Focus service is a partnership between the Nelson Trust and InfoBuzz, delivering support for children and families with complex needs in a range of different settings across Gloucestershire. Our goal is to improve the emotional well-being of children and young people by working directly with young people, with their families, and through multi-agency collaboration. Our service provision combines the strengths of a multi-disciplinary team which can respond flexibly to evolving patterns of need.
