Relate Birmingham is an independent charity working across Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and South Staffordshire and we are a member of the national Relate Federation, which is the leading provider of relationship support. We help individuals, couples and families build better relationships and improved wellbeing and reduce the negative impact of relationship breakdown, especially on children. We deliver a range of services including counselling, family mediation and education and training.
Our work has become even more critical post pandemic, with the impact of rising cost-of-living on families and individuals and the growing need for support for children and young people’s mental health. We have plans to diversify and grow again.
Last year we supported over 3,000 people directly and indirectly benefitted a further 1742 children. We deliver a mix of services that include self-referral, contracts and grant funded projects. We’re probably best known for our work helping couples improve their relationships but nowadays we offer a wider range of services for everyone who needs us. Our services extend beyond relationship counselling to family counselling, counselling for young people, sex therapy, mental health and wellbeing services, informal courses and workshops, family mediation and child contact work.
We have premises in Birmingham and Wolverhampton and access to a network of community venues.
