We provide families with tailored support that improves wellbeing, reduces isolation and supports both children and care-givers to thrive. We will build on our current experience (of providing volunteer led support to families) and our staff led support using VIG (Video Interaction Guidance). VIG is a supportive programme of parent counselling that uses video to help parents become more attuned and responsive to their child’s communications, both verbal and non-verbal. We will design and deliver a new targeted volunteer support offer for parents affected by poor mental health and who are pregnant or have a child aged 0-2 years, to embed families learning from VIG and support them to build social connections. We will also form a new partnership with Ellesmere Port based organisation Milestone Mums who will provide support for mums in a group setting, and/or on outings to bring mum's together. They will also provide input to our volunteer training. Grant will pay for salaries, volunteer costs and activities/resources for mums/mums-to-be. Our project will improve the way a parent with mental health problems interacts with and cares for their baby, and develops a secure attachment; and encourage and support them to build social connections in their community.

Due to the current Coronavirus crisis we have adapted our support for families to enable us to provide bespoke telephone and video calls support for parents with young children, and pregnant women. We would use the funding to offer this support to families in Ellesmere Port & Neston. Koala North West (previously known as Home-Start Wirral) has 20 years experience of supporting families. Our skilled staff team and Family Mentors will offer emotional support, and also practical support re: strategies parents can implement, signpost and support to access other services, and even support re: ideas of how to cook on a budget with food they are donated,etc. We would link in with foodbanks/port grocery, etc. to ensure families in need have the food they need, and we are trying to raise funds so that we can access other necessities for families struggling e.g. nappies. The most significance our project can make is to prevent family breakdown.Everyone must follow government guidance on social isolation/social distancing and stay at home, which is causing raised anxiety and stress levels for some. Families, and new parents -to-be are finding this very difficult, causing increased stress levels and having a negative impact on mental health.
