Parents Matter Wellbeing Service
This is a community perinatal peer support service for new and expectant parents living in Camden, delivered by Family Lives. The service supports parents who are experiencing isolation to improve emotional wellbeing. Whether a first child or a new brother or sister, Parents Matter can work with mums and dads during pregnancy and up to 24 months after birth.
How we will support new parents and expectant mothers
The team of locally recruited peer supporters will visit parents in the family home and make contact via text messaging and using MS Teams. They will offer a listening ear to help ease the demands of parenthood. Staff and volunteers speak a range of community languages.
The aims of the service are to:
- improve mental health and wellbeing of new parents
- reduce social isolation of families
- increase self-confidence of parents
- support a positive relationship between parents and their baby
- welcome mums and dads to parenting groups and signpost to local services and resources
