Everyone is impacted by the cost-of-living rising which can put extra pressure on families. Somerset partners are here to help, and we have listed some services and support that may be useful for you to know about.
There are so many great support services out there to provide early help. If you work to support families and residents, we need your help to share this information with them.
This can be by providing them with an information sheet or a link to the Connect Somerset website or even better by having a meaningful conversation with the families and/or resident you are supporting guiding them on the offer of support that’s available.
As a professional, if you are having a conversation with someone, give the three Ts a go…
- Think about what else would help (the #Help4All webpage is a good start)
- Talk about the help available (local, county and digital)
- Try it out! Introduce them to something that can help. For example, log into the online service so they can try it, or take them down the road to join a community group
We need lots more of our families and residents getting help earlier, so their lives get better quicker, and we can reduce pressure on services. Do your bit for Somerset #Help4All.
Connect Somerset have created materials and webpages, which you can download below. Please share far and wide!
