The goal is to help empower and enable families, creating the conditions for improved health and family wellbeing.
TESSA is an early to middle level intervention support service, aimed at helping families before they get to a breakdown point and is not suitable for families in deep crisis or facing disruption. TESSA can work alongside support services being provided by the local authority in order to help families from all angles if required.
Referrals can be made directly to the post adoption team and will reviewed for their suitability by the TESSA Coordinator who will meet with the family to complete the referral process
