We love receiving feedback like this about our HENRY training sessions for practitioners! 💚

One participant recently shared how much they enjoyed their session, particularly the enthusiasm and care their trainer brought to the day.

They also appreciated how the trainer listened to feedback and introduced more practical activities in the afternoon to help everyone through that post-lunch slump!

It’s lovely to hear that the training was so well received, and a big thank you to our trainer for putting so much into the session.

What we eat can affect how we feel, and that goes for parents and guardians as well as children. 💚

For World Mental Health Day, we’re looking at the relationship between food and mental wellbeing.

Research and guidance from the NHS and Mental Health Foundation show that eating regularly, drinking enough water and having a balanced diet can all help support our mood, energy and concentration.

And with family life being as busy as it is, we know regular mealtimes and healthy eating aren’t always straightforward.

There might be days when dinner is something quick from the freezer, everyone eats at different times or the children refuse what’s on their plate.

That’s part of family life too.

Swipe through to learn a little more about food and mood, and how everyday habits can support the wellbeing of the whole family.

For more support with healthy family lifestyles, reach out to HENRY.

Over the past decade, HENRY in Waltham Forest has worked with more than 14,000 families across the borough.

That’s 10 years of local practitioners and volunteers working alongside parents and carers, supporting families and being part of their lives during those important early years of childhood.

Our Chief Executive Beckie Lang wanted to send a special message to everyone who has been part of HENRY in Waltham Forest over the last 10 years. It takes a village to raise a child and by embedding across the borough through our workshops, group programmes, infant feeding support and other 1-2-1 support over the years, we love being part of the community.

A huge congratulations to the whole HENRY team and thank you to every partner service and organisation who has worked alongside us, and most importantly every family who has connected with us 💚
