An enormous thank you to the fantastic family carers who co-produced and delivered the programme and all those who took part.

Facilitators and programme recipients described positive experiences and beneficial effects on wellbeing and family relationships.

We developed a model of programme processes which highlights the critical role of facilitators' lived experience and the positive approach

Excited to share that our qualitative evaluation of Positive Family Connections - a co-produced support programme for families of children with developmental disabilities, has been published open-access
