Home-Start Herts recognises a child’s early years make the biggest impact. A nurturing, stable family life teaches children how to love, learn & paves the way to a happy, confident adulthood. We support vulnerable parents who struggle to provide this, so they can offer their children the best start.

    Situation

    With the current instability of the economic climate and ongoing post-pandemic issues, more parents are facing challenges around isolation, anxiety, financial issues and mental health. More vulnerable parents are reaching breaking point and children's wellbeing is being detrimentally affected. Without support networks these issues continue to escalate and can compromise children's development, health and future outcomes.

    Solution

    Home-Start Herts provides early intervention via an intensive 1:1 support package, tailored to meet each family’s individual needs. Responsive support is delivered weekly by a trained volunteer Family Mentor who provides emotional and practical support, helping parents build confidence, learn coping strategies, build positive relationships and realise their potential. Our family groups help children’s social, emotional and physical development, build parenting skills and provide peer support.
