Welcome to Live Life Better Derbyshire’s Healthier Futures Family service.
We are here to help you take care of your health and wellbeing as a family.
We understand that you know best what your family needs to thrive, and we'll work with you to achieve your goals.
You are eligible for this service if:
- you are the parent or carer of a child or young person aged between 0 and 12 years old
- your family lives in Derbyshire and has a Derbyshire postcode, or is registered with a Derbyshire GP
- your child or young person attends a Derbyshire school

How we can support you
We offer one-to-one telephone or online support from our specialist advisors who will listen and build on your current strengths as a family.
They will not judge or criticise, and will go at a pace that suits you. They will only provide you with information that is relevant to your family’s needs.
We also offer group information sessions.
We will have regular catch up calls to see how you are doing, provide you with reassurance, and answer any questions you have.
We can also help you find services and groups in your local area that can help with more specialist support if that is important to you.
We'll help you to take part in other Live Life Better Derbyshire services such as helping to manage your weight, get more active or to stop smoking.
What can we help you with?
We have been supporting families for a while now and our parents and carers say that they are most interested in the following topics
- healthier diet
- improve daily movement
- better sleep
- parenting confidence
- calmer mealtimes
How long will we support you?
We will offer you and your family support for around 12 weeks. This can be extended depending on your needs, and the pace you feel fits with your family's schedule.
How to take part
You can sign up to book a chat with one of our friendly team. There is no obligation to join us, but we hope you will.
What happens next?
A Healthier Futures advisor will ring you, at the time and date you requested.
They will ask you some questions about yourself, and you can talk about what support you think you need, or what you would like to find out.
Building on that conversation your advisor will talk you through the options available to you from Healthier Futures.
Alternatively they can direct you to organisations, groups, or health professionals in your local area who may be better placed to provide that support for you.
Information on other websites
There is lots of information about how to keep your family healthy and well on other websites too. We've pulled together some of them on our supporting your child to be healthy page.
