Free Resources For Mediators and Legal Professionals
Be part of changing young people's lives
What is Your Direction?
Your Direction is our FREE 5-session online course for young people aged 12–17 & 18-30, created by Restored Lives in partnership with Spurgeons.
It helps young people understand and process their parents’ breakup and develop the tools and skills they need to recover and find their voice.
By referring your clients, you connect them to effective, proven support that improves children’s wellbeing, builds resilience, and promotes positive family relationships during and after separation.
You can make a huge difference
As solicitors, mediators or experts working with families in transition, you can help families get the targeted support they need. By referring your clients to Your Direction you are:
- Giving children a voice
- Referring them to a trusted resource that’s proven to increase wellbeing
- Helping parents to find effective ways to support their children
- Encouraging constructive communication between children and parents
- Enhancing your service and showing you are a child-focused practitioner
- Joining a movement of family lawyers committed to putting children’s voices at the centre of every case
Help children find their voice
Children have a right to be included in the arrangements made for them. But many find it difficult to process what has happened or talk to their parents about family changes.
Your Direction helps young people to build the skills they need to voice their opinion and get the support they need.
You can also refer clients to Restored Lives, a course for adults that includes specific content about parenting after separation.
9 out of 10 children said that Your Direction helped them talk to their parents in a more constructive way
We can help train your team
Drawing on our direct experience supporting young people, we provide training that helps mediators and family lawyers see separation through their clients’ children’s eyes — leading to more informed, child-focused practice.
We can provide bespoke presentations, workshops and training for your team.
Mediators and family law professionals are some of our most valuable volunteers. If you’d like to be involved delivering Your Direction please contact us about our volunteering opportunities.
Or if you’d like to run the course exclusively for your clients’ children, register for a free account on our leaders hub to explore all the course materials then contact us to discuss a partnership agreement. It’s FREE to run the course for the first year.
