This project will offer practical and emotional support to parents with issues such as post-natal illness, depression, anxiety and social isolation that have children aged 0-11. Families will develop a personal plan with weekly support and mentoring from volunteers, and counselling if needed. Weekly family groups will allow parents to socialise in a safe environment while their children play. The group will work with local services and schools, and run across Basildon, Brentwood, Billericay and Wickford.
