We are delighted to welcome you to the online home of the Supporting Separated Families Alliance: West Midlands & Warwickshire (SSFA West Midlands & Warwickshire). Our mission is to support separated parents, carers, children, and families across the region as they navigate the challenges of family change, separation, and co-parenting.
Although our website is still under development, we are committed to providing a trusted, accessible source of information, guidance, and signposting—just as the established SSFA Sheffield has done for its community. Our aim is to ensure that families in the West Midlands and Warwickshire have the local, practical support they need to put children first and build positive futures.
Who We Are
SSFA West Midlands & Warwickshire is a collaborative alliance of local organisations, professionals, and volunteers dedicated to supporting families experiencing separation.
We understand that every family is unique, and separation can be a difficult and emotional journey.
Our alliance brings together expertise from across the region—including family mediation services, parenting support, legal advice, and local authority resources—to help you find the right help at the right time.
What We Offer
- Clear, practical information on parenting after separation, including co-parenting tips, communication strategies, and advice on making arrangements that work for everyone.
- Guidance on local family mediation services, helping you resolve issues amicably and avoid unnecessary conflict or costly court proceedings.
- Signposting to local support networks, counselling, and therapeutic services for both parents and children, tailored to the needs of West Midlands and Warwickshire families.
- Up-to-date resources on legal rights, child arrangements, and financial matters, with links to trusted local and national organisations.
- A welcoming, non-judgemental space where families can find support, share experiences, and access help—whether you are just beginning the separation process or have been navigating co-parenting for some time.
Our Commitment to the Region
We are proud to serve the diverse communities of the West Midlands and Warwickshire, from Birmingham and Coventry to Warwick, Solihull, Dudley, and beyond. Our alliance works closely with local authorities, mediation services, and family support organisations to ensure that our information is relevant, up-to-date, and rooted in the realities of family life in our area.
Stay Connected
While we put the finishing touches on our new website at https://ssfawestmidlands.org.uk/, please know that support is available now. If you need immediate help, you can contact the Warwickshire Family Information Service or explore local mediation and counselling services in your area.
We look forward to launching our full website soon, where you will find comprehensive resources, downloadable guides, and details of local events and workshops. In the meantime, we invite you to connect with us, share your feedback, and let us know how we can best support you and your family.
Together, we can help separated families in the West Midlands and Warwickshire find hope, understanding, and a positive path forward.
