Parents with Mental Health Problems

Family Action services work with those who are experiencing mental health problems and with their children; ensuring both get the support they need.
Family Action operate a significant number of mental health support services across England. See Around the Country for more information.

Newpin works with parents and children under five where there is a significant difficulty identified in the child–parent relationship and/or an identified mental health problem.

Our new Perinatal Project works with mothers at risk of depression around the birth of their child. You can read more about the service here.

Family Action's Building Bridges services work with the whole family unit and seek to meet the individual needs of each family member, supporting the need of the adult(s) in their role as a parent(s) and responding to the related but separate needs of the children. The approach promotes the involvement of other agencies and encourages them to work together and coordinate their services.
