Family Star (Relationships)
For resolving conflict between parents
Who is the Family Star (Relationships) for?
The Family Star (Relationships) has been developed for parents and others with a key parenting role who need support to tackle disagreements healthily, to help their children to thrive.
The Family Star (Relationships) helps them and the services supporting them identify progress towards key outcomes like boundaries and behaviour, relationship skills and managing strong feelings.
- What other Family Stars are available?
The Family Star (Relationships) is one of a suite of Stars for the family. Family Star and Family Star Plus are for parents to help support children to thrive. Family Star (Early Years) has been developed for parents of young children. Family Impact Star (Addictions) is for people impacted by the addictive behaviour of someone close to them.
You may also want to consider My Star which can be used to capture the voice of the child, their needs and perspective.
Using the Outcomes Star approach
The Family Star (Relationships) is designed to be used as part of the Outcomes Star approach. That’s why we provide essential training and ongoing support to all licenced practitioners, so you can embed the Outcomes Star approach in your practice.
How does the Family Star (Relationships) work?
The Family Star (Relationships) covers eight key outcome areas that support parents and others with a key parenting role to manage conflict, and assesses their progress towards each following a five-stage Journey of Change.
You and the people you support will fill out the Star together to better identify where their strengths lie and where they may need more help, and to make plans for moving forward along the journey. It is designed to be completed with each parent separately, whether or not they are together as a couple.
