Milli's Separated & Step Family Support is a community organisation that works with everyone affected by family separation and step parenting in order to bring about better outcomes for children.

The ending of one relationship and the beginning of another is likely to bring with it a range of difficult feelings and issues. By bringing together parents and other family members to support each other through the difficult processes of family separation and step parenting, together with offering specialist support as listed, we aim to help make things easier for all concerned.

We therefore aim to offer the following:
• Information
• Group Meetings
• Support, telephone support, text and/or email support
• Courses led by professionals for both separating parents and step parents.

Our child focused work is designed to help parents:
• Understand and deal with their own and their children's experiences.
• Improve communications so that they can manage the transitions in the years to come.
• Make private arrangements for how their children will spend time with them all.


"Putting Children First" course
This 6-week course will offer you information, tools and strategies to manage divorce or
separation in a way that helps the whole family adjust to the transitions.
Looking at the impact on you and helping you to work through the difficult issues,
understanding your children's reactions and how best to support them in adjusting and
adapting to the changes, making private agreements for parenting time and financial
provision for children and tools to help you build a co-operative parenting relationship.

Blended Families / Step parent course
We will also be offering a course for blended families and step parents written by Professor Lisa Doodson of Happy Steps the UK's only research based stepfamily resource centre.
