Support for Families

Many Parents need help, friendship, advice or support during those early years when children are young. There is no rulebook for raising a family and sometimes it can seem overwhelming, particuarly if a family is going through difficult times. But if they can get the support they need when they need it, then day-to-day family life and their children’s future can be so much brighter.

Home-Start can help if a family is:

  • Isolated with no family nearby and struggling to make friends.
  • Suffering with post-natal illness but finding it hard to talk to anyone about it.
  • Having a hard time coping with their child’s illness.
  • Overwhelmed by the death of a loved one
  • Struggling with the emotional and physical demands of having twins or triplets.
  • Struggling to cope with a disability
  • Experiencing relationship difficulties.

or finding it hard to cope with any similar situations.

We offer home-visiting or family group support or sometimes both.
