Family Action - Newpin

Family Action services work with those who are experiencing mental health problems and with their children; ensuring both get the support they need.

Newpin provide long-term support to parents/carers and children under five where there is an identified mental health problem and/or a significant difficulty in the parent-child relationship.

The programme offers:

• group play and learning opportunities for a parent/carer and child;
• a positive experience of playing together for parent/carer and child; and
• a group experience that is carefully structured to enhance attachment, raise parental self-esteem, and improve the parent's ability to mirror their child's feelings.

Please call for further information and referral. You can also contact them through a health professional e.g. GP, community psychiatric nurse, health visitor or social worker.
