Action for Children

Action for Children  gives children, young people and families the chance to fulfil their potential and to make the most of their lives.

Through Families First in Carmarthenshire, Action for Children provide a range of parenting programmes that offer practical tools, skills and information to help parents with children or young people aged 0-19.

We offer this support via face to face groups from our base in Llanelli, and around the County in community venues, via online groups using Teams, and via 1-1 support in a family’s home

We deliver Parenting programmes including The Parenting Puzzle, Family Links Nurture Programme (3-11 years) and Talking Teens (11-18 years).

We also deliver ‘Feeling the Fizz’ which is a series of fun workshops designed to help children, young people and sometimes their parents too, manage big emotions and understand stress, practising strategies to help deal with this.

A Play Therapist supports children aged 3-11 years with complex needs to help them find appropriate ways to process their experiences and feelings, and an Art Psychotherapist works creatively with children 8-16 to help address childhood trauma.

Our 2 therapists also run a series of workshops called ‘Parenting After Trauma’ to help parents and carers understand and manage the feelings and behaviour of their children who have experienced difficult events.
