HENRY in Southend
HENRY is funded by A Better Start Southend to provide support for expectant parents and families living in the ABSS areas with children aged 0-4 years old, to provide the best and healthiest start in life for their children.
Our services
We have two services running in Southend:
- Preparation for Parenthood - a free support service for expectant parents, providing 1-to-1 or group support over our 6-week programmes. Topics include: Becoming a parent, a healthy pregnancy, bonding and caring for your baby, labour and birth and life after birth.
- Healthy Families - a free support service for families with children 0-4yrs, providing 1-to-1 or group support via our 8-week programmes. Topics include: healthy family behaviours, staying active, diet and nutrition and parental confidence. We also offer free workshops: Fussy eating, Eating Well for Less, Understanding Children's Behaviour, Healthy Drinks, What's in our Food? and Let's Get Active.
We are running these services online or in a COVID-secure face-to-face environment in local venues.
