The project help parents with mental health issues cope better with the parenting challenges of everyday life. We want our services to reduce the struggle. We help parents develop coping strategies, and form peer support networks in their local community. Our regular activities help parents get out and about with their young children, develop wider community links and access 1:1 case work support where necessary. We help parents care for themselves so they can in turn care for their children.
