Supporting healthy minds for every infant

A nurturing and strong relationship with at least one parent/carer helps a baby get off to the best start in life. There are lots of reasons why developing this relationship can be difficult.

Our team at PAIRS will work directly with infants and their parents/carers, as well as those who work with families, to help understand and support this relationship.

PAIRS also work to ensure that the infant’s voice is central to any discussions or decisions involving them.
