HENRY Buddies

A HENRY Buddy will be there for you and help you through the challenges of family life. Your Buddy will keep in regular touch with you by phone and text – usually 2-3 times a week for around 6 weeks at a time of day that suits you. They’ll listen and provide you with the support you need as a parent – as well as offering practical ideas.

“My buddy worker was wonderful….She helped build my confidence in myself as a person and as a mother. Gave me space to brain storm ways to help our issues and made me feel really empowered. Our meal times have become shorter and less of a battle. More laughter. I’m taking him out more despite feeling low in myself and were meal planning and my son is helping me with prepping food and cleaning which he loves doing and is great bonding time. Her support came at a really needed time and has been absolutely invaluable to me. She really gave me the boost I needed to improve our lives.”
