North Northamptonshire Supportive Steps
Supporting families with the transition to parenthood
We support new and expectant parents and carers in North Northamptonshire, as part of North Northamptonshire Council’s Family Hub Programme, by offering parenting programmes that are universally accessible to prepare expectant mothers and their partners for labour, birth and the immediate post-natal period to support the transition to parenthood.
We also offer evidence-based intensive support for new parents who need targeted parenting interventions, as well as antenatal and postnatal emotional and practical support to families needing extra help where a parent is struggling with their well-being or is at significant risk of developing mild to moderate mental health issues during pregnancy or the first two years after birth.
What we do
Our service is open to all expectant parents and those with children aged 0-2 who live within North Northamptonshire. We aim to:
- Improve attachment, bonding and the child-parent relationship.
- Provide support to allow parents/carers to feel better connected in their community.
- Support parents/carers to feel confident and equipped to support the needs of their children.
- Promote resilience, health, wellbeing, and independence for the transition into parenthood.
How we can help
We can help with a range of issues, including:
- Low mood and anxiety or self-esteem and confidence issues.
- Postnatal depression.
- Difficulties with bonding and attachment.
- Concerns about the responsibility of parenting.
