Why Relationships Matter
Family, friendships, and relationships are a huge part of life. They shape who we are and give us strength and help us feel connected.
Strong and safe relationships make life better. They give us people to celebrate with, people to turn to in tough times, and people who help us grow.
As a care leaver in Rotherham, we want you to feel supported to build safe, strong, and positive relationships, whether that’s with your family, friends, partner, or your own children.
Good relationships are not just about family. They can also be with trusted adults, teachers, employers, neighbours, coaches, or people you meet through volunteering and hobbies. Having a mix of these supportive connections helps you feel less alone and more confident as you move into adulthood.
