What we do
Barnardo's CAPO Service Bristol provides children and young people with 6 sessions of support to process their feelings and to consolidate their understanding when a parent or key family member is or has spent time in custody. The support is provided by a qualified art therapist.
Social care staff working for Bristol City Council can refer to the service as can other professionals as long as they provide details of the child's social worker.
When considering a referral please also consider Barnardos Family Route Service which provides Multi Dimensional Family Therapy. Any young person with a parent in custody would be eligible for this service if aged 11-17 and if the young person has used alcohol or substances four times in the last month.
