Brighter Futures would like to invite you to a morning conference to discuss why Early Intervention Matters, and why it is a shared responsibility across Jersey.

Please enjoy a morning with Brighter Futures to explore this.

Why should early intervention be treated as a shared responsibility, and what has this got to do with you?

Brighter Futures supports approximately 160 families per week. Our evidence shows that, when families receive the right support early, escalation is reduced, and long-term outcomes improve for children, parents, services, and the wider community.

Early intervention strengthens family bonds by -

• addressing challenges before they grow, and
• creating stability and resilience for everyone.

What will the conference deliver?

• What effective early intervention looks like in practice;
• Why informed leadership and sustained commitment are essential if Jersey is to remain a safe, resilient, and healthy place to live and work;
• It will bring together a wide section of our community such as employers, community leaders, and senior decision-makers.
• Clear, practical evidence of how early support leads to measurable improvements in family wellbeing and life outcomes, alongside real-world insight into the costs of delay and the financial and social savings generated by early, sustained action.

Why this matters.

• Early intervention is a proven, preventative approach that protects families before difficulties reach crisis point. It works by strengthening family stability, building trust, and addressing challenges early.
• When we miss the chance to intervene early, costs are simply shifted and multiplied to areas such as healthcare, policing, social services and employers through lost productivity and staff turnover.
