How we can support parents
We offer free one-to-one support by Teams, or phone, or online with our friendly advisors. We listen to parents goals, build on the family's strengths, always with non-judgemental support.
Parents get regular check-ins with an advisor, helpful information tailored to their needs, and access to other Live Life Better Derbyshire services like weight management, getting active, or stopping smoking. We also run 8-week HENRY programmes for parents and carers.
If you need more specialist help, we'll connect you to local services.
