Home-Start Trafford, Salford and Wigan is on of Greater Manchester’s leading family support charities. Our Parent Infant Mental Health (PIMH) project explores the crucial link between attachment and brain development in children during their first two years of life. These early experiences profoundly impact a child’s future mental health and relationships.

Our dedicated volunteers and staff undergo extensive training to support families facing mild to moderate mental health challenges effectively. We provide support through engaging activities and resources that strengthen parent-infant relationships, enhance understanding of baby development, empower parents, and offer evidence-based parenting tools. We support the family by offering a weekly home visit, where our volunteers and Family Support Workers provide gentle relationship enhancing techniques.
