Becoming a parent or caregiver is often thought of as one of the happiest experiences of our lives. However, we know the reality can be much more complicated and for some, can be overwhelming. 

If you are finding it hard to cope, you are not alone - it is OK to ask for help. Little Minds in Mind is a service for parents and caregivers who are experiencing difficulties in their relationship with their baby, during pregnancy or after their baby is born. 

North East Counselling Services (NECS) knows that sometimes parents and carers may be concerned about the emotional wellbeing of their children.

Kev Stoodly, Founder & CEO and Doug Laidlaw, Project Manager are from the award winning North East Young Dads and Lads (NEYDL) charity that works with marginalised and disadvantaged young dads and expectant fathers (aged 25 and under) in the North East region of England.

ParentChild+ is a free home learning programme.

Our free home learning programme:

From the moment babies are born, their minds need nourishment, but it can be difficult to think up new ways for mums, dads, grandparents and carers to keep them engaged.

Loads of helpful tips and advice for your child to get a better night's sleep.
 

We are running a free sleep workshop on Friday 29th August 10:00am-12:00 @ Byker Sands Family Centre and we would love you to join us.

All sessions are for parents and carers of children who live in Newcastle.

There is no creche available over the summer holidays and children are not able to attend.
