Stockport Infant Parent Service (IPS)

Just one of many amazing quotes from participants; "I am feeling very inspired to put what I have learned into everyday practice and can already feel a huge benefit this will have for parents."

"It would have been good to go to a baby group and meet other babies but all I need is my Mum and Dad. I'm having such a lot of fun look at me jumping!" @EmmaMcDonough6 @maurapps @dadmattersuk @HomeStartHOST #IMHAW2020

We asked parents what it has meant working with the Infant Parent Service using Compassion Focused Therapy. "..enabling me to improve my confidence as a parent .." #IMHAW2020 @maurapps @EmmaMcDonough6 @PACTSTOCKPORT @HomeStartHOST

Asking parents how it has felt and what it has meant to them having Infant Parent Service support during this difficult lockdown time. @PACTSTOCKPORT @HomeStartHOST #IMHAW2020

We talked to parents about how Lockdown has impacted their life with baby. Relationships and connections with the whole family are crucial. Important we all support the Infant Parent relationship. @maurapps @EmmaMcDonough6 @dadmattersuk #IMHAW2020
