Vicky Bishop, 0-19+ Service Lead, said:
Being a parent or carer can be incredibly rewarding, but we know it can also bring challenges. The HENRY programme provides a welcoming space for parents and carers to learn practical skills, share experiences and build confidence in supporting their children’s health and wellbeing.
These free online sessions offer advice that can make a real difference to everyday family life, from understanding behaviour to looking after your own wellbeing. We would encourage any parent or carer of a child aged 0-5 years to book a place.
Parents who have previously attended HENRY sessions have praised the programme’s impact.
One parent said:
The best thing I’ve done to help me be a better mum.
