You know relationships matter.
But where do you find the time?
As a practitioner or social worker, you are close to the young people and families you support. You know their stories. You want better for them. But every day, you are pulled in different directions:
- Time pressure to get through your caseload
- Process and bureaucratic pressure to complete forms, reports, and reviews
- Social pressure from families, colleagues, and other services
- Emotional pressure when you see people coming back into the system or aging out without enough support
You have had success stories, but too often the system feels like it doesn’t really change anything in the long term. You know you are temporary in your clients’ lives, yet you are treated as if you are the main support.
That tension is draining. It can lead to fatigue, frustration, and burnout.
A small, practical tool that fits inside the work you already do
You don’t need another heavy model, new software, or complex framework. You need something that:
- Is quick to understand and easy to use
- Fits inside your existing conversations, sessions, and programmes
- Help clients move from “professionals take care of us” to “we are supported by our own network, with professionals alongside”
- Does not add more administration, forms, or reporting
- Actually changes what happens after you close the case
Our 1‑day training gives you a complete, simple, and workable method to map and activate the social network around your clients and families. You can integrate it into your current way of working, without rewriting your whole practice or your organisation’s processes.
The goal is simple:
When you have to let go of a family or a young person, you know there is a lasting support system around them.
Start with one case, in one day!
Changing “the system” feels impossible.
Changing how you work with one family is not.
In the training you will:
- Learn the MLM-Tool step by step, with real examples from practice
- Practice using it in a way that feels natural to your own style of working and fits into your everyday work
- See how to introduce it in one current case without adding extra appointments
- Leave with a way to discover the lasting support around your clients and families
You don’t need extra budget or extra time in your diary to start.
You just need one day to learn it and one case to begin.
Everything you need in
one focused day
Your time is limited, so this training is designed to fit that reality. In one focused day, you receive a clear and structured introduction to the method, without unnecessary jargon or theory. We combine short explanations with real cases and practical exercises.
By the end of the day, you have a ready-to-use tool for mapping and discovering the real social network, you know exactly when and how to bring the MLM-Tool into your conversations, and you feel more confident that when services end, support for your client or families does not.
Many practitioners experience a shift in perspective: from “the system takes care” towards “their own network takes care of them, and the system supports that.”
Discover the possibilities
In use by practitioners in
Kent & Medway
Your colleagues in Kent and Medway are already using the MLM‑Tool in Family Hubs, 0–25 / Early Help and community settings. Around 500 practitioners have been trained as MLM‑Coaches and tell us it fits easily into their existing programmes and coaching work, without adding extra complexity.
They describe how the MLM-Tool opens up new conversations, helps clients and families see how important their own support network is, and often reveals support they did not realise they had. In practice, it gives you a simple way to discover networks around the children, young people, and families you work with, just as many of your colleagues are already doing.
Give yourself and your families
more peace of mind
You became a practitioner to make a real difference in people’s lives. You also know you cannot be there forever. You want your clients and families to be supported after your case is closed.
