Our Story …
Bourne from our founder’s desire to help families live happy, fulfilling lives, Just Family. Janine Proctor - founder, director, practitioner and, most importantly, a mum of three girls! As a PhD (Candidate) and a qualified
social worker with 20+ years’ experience of supporting families in different settings and circumstances, Janine has developed many vital and transferable skills which she now uses to provide expert support and care to children, parents and carers. Janine saw a need for support for families when she experienced first-hand the lack of support and service provision within her local area to assist her through a very difficult time of perinatal anxiety and depression during/after her pregnancy/birth of her second daughter. She saw the effect that it had not only on her, but also her family as a whole and how specialist support could have helped. Just Family CIC vision is for every family to live happy, healthy lives with positive relationships and a chance to reach their potential. Just Family CIC mission is to provide a range of quality support services, including peer support groups, parental workshops, 1-1 tailored support, advocacy, mentorship, signposting and accredited interventions, all run by highly skilled and specialist trained practitioners and volunteers that help and promote emotional health and wellbeing and ensure a holistic whole family approach to make a genuine difference to families lives now and help them build brighter futures. We support families with a range of issues that affect their general well-being, including: mental health challenges; parent/child attachment; relationship breakdowns; access to specialist support. OUR AIMS ARE TO:
Safeguard vulnerable adults and children; improve mental health (address depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, substance misuse); reduce social isolation and loneliness; increase engagement in specialist support; promote better family cohesion and relationships; reduce the number of
crisis points and demands on local services.
