Party of Five

1994

Party of Five (1994-2000) is an American family drama series.

Set in San Francisco, the series is centred on the five Salinger siblings – they are the party of five – who become orphans after their parents are killed in a car accident.

24 year old Charlie (Matthew Fox) is now head of the family, a responsibility he struggles with.

The other children are 16 year old Bailey (Scott Wolf), 15 year old Julia (Neve Campbell), 11 year old Claudia (Lacey Chabert) and 1 year old Owen.

The Salinger siblings take over the running of their family restaurant and over the years face many challenges, including Charlie being diagnosed with cancer and Julia dealing with domestic violence.

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
