PSS Parent-Baby Service

What is the PSS Parent-Baby Service? 

The PSS Parent-Baby Service is an early intervention mental health support service for parents who need a bit of support to form healthy, positive relationships with their babies.

We work with parents from before their babies are born, right up until they turn two. We work with parents at an early stage, to help prevent any problems from growing.

What type of support do we give to families?

The PSS Parent-Baby service supports parents to:

· maintain positive attachment relationships;

· overcome birth trauma;

· meet other parents in our family sessions;

· look at how their own childhood may have influenced their thoughts and feelings as a parent today;

· be caring, responsive, communicative, interactive, and more ‘in tune’ with their babies;

· improve their wellbeing and their babies’ wellbeing;

· improve parent-infant attachment; and

· grow their confidence.
