A baby's earliest relationships help shape their emotional wellbeing and development, but many families face challenges such as mental health problems, trauma, domestic abuse or poverty that can make early relationships harder to build. Parents are not to blame – with the right support, relationships can grow stronger. OXPIP helps parents and babies overcome these challenges together, giving children the secure, nurturing start every family deserves.
OXPIP's specialist parent-infant psychotherapists work with parents and babies together at local community venues, helping them understand each other, strengthen their relationship and build confidence. By providing this free, specialist support to families early, we help babies feel safe and understood, parents feel more hopeful and confident, and relationships grow stronger. When a baby's earliest relationship is stronger, everything that follows can have a firmer foundation.
