Debt Management

Money worries can cause stress in relationships. This module offers practical advice if you or your partner are in debt.
Parenting support and resources
Online platforms can offer a safe space for parents to share experiences and get advice from others in similar situations.
If you think you would benefit from speaking to a trained professional, find your nearest Family Hub.
Alternatively, you can visit the Northamptonshire Children's Trust website for parenting support and resources and information on available parenting groups in West Northamptonshire.
Parental conflict and domestic abuse
It is important to remember that parental conflict is not the same as domestic abuse.
Parental conflict means disagreements and arguments between partners or ex-partners where no one feels frightened or controlled.
If you feel scared or think your partner is trying to control you, help and support are available from specialist organisations, including our domestic abuse page.
