Family Innovation Fund (FIF) Referral Form

The current Family Innovation Fund (FIF) is a range of established services for Children, Young People and Parents/Carers with low level needs that cannot be supported by services such as Schools, and GPs alone.  FIF provides that little bit of extra help to support children, young people and parents/carers.

FIF-Xtra services have been set up so there is even more help available during this time, online and via telephone, to support children, young people and their families who are experiencing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Areas of support might include:

• Understanding Coronavirus
• Managing and coping with change
• Separation and loss
• Managing and coping with anxiety
• Healthy family relationships
• Staying active and curious
