Our Families in Mind project supports parents who have a lasting and enduring mental health condition and who have a child under five who is not in full time school or nursery. Funded by Henry Smith Foundation, our volunteers have experience of mental illness themselves either personally or through a close friend or family members experience. After making contact with a family who has been referred into the project, our Families in Mind Coordinator will offer an initial six weekly support phone calls to build a relationship with them before carefully matching them to an appropriate volunteer for either continued phone support or for home-visiting. The Coordinator will review the support with the family every three months until it is no longer wanted and needed. For more information, contact Bridget bridget@homestarthull.org.uk
