We are a perinatal, maternal and parent mental wellbeing support service. We pride ourselves on an holistic whole family approach to emotional/mental wellbeing �
Our Story …
Bourne from our founder’s desire to help families live happy, fulfilling lives, Just Family. Janine Proctor - founder, director, practitioner and, most importantly, a mum of three girls! As a PhD (Candidate) and a qualified

social worker with 20+ years’ experience of supporting families in different settings and circumstances, Janine has developed many vital and transferable skills which she now uses to provide expert support and care to children, parents and carers. Janine saw a need for support for families when she experienced first-hand the lack of support and service provision within her local area to assist her through a very difficult time of perinatal anxiety and depression during/after her pregnancy/birth of her second daughter. She saw the effect that it had not only on her, but also her family as a whole and how specialist support could have helped. Just Family CIC vision is for every family to live happy, healthy lives with positive relationships and a chance to reach their potential. Just Family CIC mission is to provide a range of quality support services, including peer support groups, parental workshops, 1-1 tailored support, advocacy, mentorship, signposting and accredited interventions, all run by highly skilled and specialist trained practitioners and volunteers that help and promote emotional health and wellbeing and ensure a holistic whole family approach to make a genuine difference to families lives now and help them build brighter futures. We support families with a range of issues that affect their general well-being, including: mental health challenges; parent/child attachment; relationship breakdowns; access to specialist support. OUR AIMS ARE TO:
Safeguard vulnerable adults and children; improve mental health (address depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, substance misuse); reduce social isolation and loneliness; increase engagement in specialist support; promote better family cohesion and relationships; reduce the number of
crisis points and demands on local services.

Keele's pioneering Legal Advice Clinics offering free consultations to those in need have expanded into family law with the launch of a new service.

The Family Legal Advice Clinic will see Keele law students, under the supervision of qualified solicitors, offering free, independent family law legal advice to members of the public, giving students valuable work experience to prepare for their legal careers.

The new Family Legal Advice Clinic complements Keele's existing clinics in commercial, small claims, and personal injury law. The sessions will run on an appointment-only basis on Wednesday afternoons during term times, starting on 30th September 2026.

Run from the university's Keele in Town building in Newcastle-under-Lyme, as well as virtually on Microsoft Teams, the clinic is a pro-bono service offering advice on issues such as relationship breakdown, separation and divorce; children's private law arrangements; grandparents, stepparents and Special Guardians, as well as local authority children's services' involvement.

Students will take initial instructions, draft attendance notes and letters of advice, as well as support with basic documentation and signpost clients appropriately, under the supervision of a solicitor employed by the University.

Michele Brown, Supervising Solicitor for the Family Legal Advice Clinic, said: "Through the Family Law Advice Clinic, students gain invaluable hands-on experience that builds their professional confidence, enhances their employability, and helps them develop the practical skills required for legal practice."
