We're celebrating Infant Mental Health Awareness Week!✨

Here at Home-Start, we love supporting parents and babies and know the importance of the earliest days.

Helping families navigate this wonderful but sometimes challenging time is so important. That's why our volunteers are offered additional training to support parents and infants in their earliest days, weeks and months. 📚💛

Take a look at the Parent-Infant Foundation "Attunement" poster, and hear from one of our volunteers about how this specialist training helps them support families through those first vital months.

Want to help us protect the first 1,001 days? Whether you want to give your time as a volunteer or donate to fund this vital training, you can make a life-changing difference. Visit http://hsts.org.uk/ or DM us to get involved. 🚀
