Home-Start Herts is dedicated to empowering parents to provide the best possible start for their children, recognising the critical impact of early years on children’s future outcomes.
Their volunteer family mentors, who are often parents themselves, offer invaluable support to families facing various challenges such as post-natal depression, isolation, and bereavement.
Spending around two hours per week in the family’s home, these mentors provide both practical assistance and emotional encouragement, ensuring parents have the necessary skills and confidence to nurture their children effectively.
By intervening early and working alongside parents in their own homes, Home-Start Herts fosters positive family dynamics and equips parents with the resilience to navigate life’s challenges, ultimately facilitating healthy family relationships and empowering parents to thrive.
