Little Minds Matter

Support for expectant families

Having a baby can make you feel happy, sad, or worried. You might need support for lots of different reasons.

If you live in the Bradford district, Little Minds Matter can support you and your family to get the best possible start in life.

They are a small specialist team, with people from a range of backgrounds who can help you to:

• Think about your relationship with your baby
• Talk through concerns you may have about your baby
• Consider the thoughts and experiences of your baby
• Think about how your previous experiences are affecting you now
• Build your enjoyment and confidence in being a parent

The team will try to see you face-to-face at a time and place that suits you, including home visits or clinics in community venues. If that’s not possible, they’ll arrange to contact you through video or phone.

Support for families with a child under two

The team also provide a free group for parents and carers who are struggling in their relationship with their child/ children under two years old. You can access this support wherever you live in Bradford.

Circle of Security Groups are designed to give parents ‘a map’ for understanding and responding to their children’s emotional needs. We know that some parents struggle to build a consistent, warm and loving relationship with their baby. Circle of Security aims to help parents to promote healthy attachment relationships early in life.

The group provides 8 weekly sessions, each for two hours. Courses usually start in January, May and September
