Supporting family life across cultures and countries.
Moving to a new country can affect family roles, expectations, relationships and a child’s sense of identity. SF Connects provides educational resources that help parents and practitioners prepare for cultural differences, support adjustment and create space for honest family conversations.
Choose who you are supporting.
Explore how expectations around discipline, education, independence, family roles and safeguarding may differ. Reflect on the values you want to preserve, the expectations you may encounter and how to explain change to children.
Use accessible activities to explore belonging, identity, friendships, loss, hopes and the experience of living across cultures.
Develop culturally responsive conversations that avoid assumptions and recognise how migration, transition and belonging can shape assessment, engagement and family life.
