Home-Start Bracknell Forest

Home-Start Bracknell Forest Home-Start in Bracknell Forest offers free support, friendship and practical help to local families. That’s when parents need support.

Being a parent, whatever your situation, can be very difficult, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life, particularly if they have little support from family and friends when they need it most. For some parents it’s a particular struggle because they are also having to cope with issues such as post-natal depression, their or th

eir child’s illness or disability, isolation or multiple birth. That’s when Home-Start Bracknell Forest can help. A carefully selected volunteer, who has parenting experience themselves, regularly visits a family, in their own home, offering emotional and practical support through difficult times for as long as it is helpful or needed. This friendly parent-to-parent support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track.

Last year 87% of Home-Start Bracknell Forest families reported feeling isolated upon their first meeting with us.

This we want to help families facing isolation to feel seen, supported, and connected — because no parent should have to navigate early family life alone.

Research shows us that our first 1001 days are the most important. Even though we don’t remember much of it as adults, our experiences as babies shape who we are.

Before we talk, we are developing confidence, self esteem, physical skills and connections with others.

Having good infant mental health lays down the foundations for all future development, allowing us to build healthier adult brains.

Our early intervention at Home-Start acts as a building block for a child’s development. Get in touch to find out how we can support your family 01344, 860 025, [email protected], https://hsbf.org.uk/are-you-a-parent-in-need-of-support/
