I congratulate Family Action for the excellent work that they do to transform the lives of the most vulnerable families.

Intensive family intervention can successfully turn around the lives of families who have many complex problems.

Against All Odds: Mind the Gap - Charity Calls for More Support for Women at Risk of Perinatal Depression

"‘Children’s development will suffer and we face the prospect of another generation of “Troubled” families if the gap in early intervention services for low-income pregnant women and new mothers at risk of depression isn’t closed’

Family Action's Against All Odds: Mind the Gap campaign highlights the dangers mothers and children face if adequate services and welfare support are not available. Research shows that poor maternal mental health and low income during babyhood damage children's outcomes.

Read our Mind the Gap Report, and join our campaign today. Learn more about Family Action's Perinatal Support Service which supports mothers and babys at risk. Donate and help our work.
