For the curious mind, reflective professional, thoughtful parent, and interested citizen. Evidence-based analysis for informed choices.
We treat you as capable researchers making informed decisions, not recipients of prescriptive advice
The second best time is today.
Whether you're developing professionally, exploring new ideas, starting a family, or reflecting on life's journey, it's never too late to deepen your understanding with evidence-based information.
Everything has something to offer.
We present diverse, scientifically-grounded perspectives across psychology, professional practice, and human development, encouraging you to research further and choose what resonates with your unique circumstances and interests.
Understanding complexity is.
Real life—whether professional practice, relationships, or personal development—includes challenges and setbacks. Learning to navigate these complexities with evidence-based understanding strengthens our capacity for growth.
You are the expert on your own context.
We encourage readers to verify information, use tools like reliable AI agents such as Perplexity, and develop their own informed perspectives based on empirical evidence and their unique circumstances.
Knowledge is power when it serves your choices.
We provide scientifically-established information as a foundation for your own research and decision-making. When you understand the evidence behind human behaviour, development, and social systems, you can make choices that align with your values and circumstances with confidence.
Creating safe, respectful learning environments.

From professional insight to accessible knowledge
Steve Young, Founder
YoungFamilyLife Ltd was founded in June 2025 to offer evidence-based content for families and professionals. Drawing on over two decades in Family Safeguarding and Early Help, the platform provides information that respects intelligence, presents evidence without prescription, and supports informed decision-making.
Our approach treats readers as capable researchers rather than passive recipients. We present scientifically-established knowledge as springboards for exploration, not rigid solutions. This adult-to-adult methodology builds on existing strengths whilst offering collaborative, evidence-based education.
The platform has evolved rapidly since launch, growing from course support materials into a substantial knowledge resource spanning psychology, professional practice, professional environments, and human development. With over 100,000 words of content, YoungFamilyLife serves curious minds, reflective professionals, thoughtful parents, and interested citizens seeking to explore life's complexities through evidence-based analysis.
YoungFamilyLife draws on extensive frontline experience in family services, combined with advanced therapeutic training and evidence-based practice methodology.
