Family Action Newpin Perinatal Family Project
Organisation's Objectives:
- To increase the resilience of the families and individual service users we support by working with them to build on their strengths
- To improve awareness of why and how best to meet the needs of disadvantaged and socially isolated individuals and families in England
- To improve the physical, emotional and financial well-being and mental health of all our service users
- The service will be a Perinatal Family Project which will work with socially excluded families in Southwark around the birth of a new baby. It will draw on the experiences of the existing Perinatal Project and extend the reach of this project by working with new fathers who we have been unable to work with in the existing service.
Target Groups:
- Women who have an existing mental health problem or who are vulnerable to post natal depression.
- Families in which there is an existing parental mental health problem; couple relationship problem and/or parenting issues.
- Estranged fathers who would like to be involved with their children; learn about the importance of attachment for children and their children's development needs.
