Support for all

Start for life

Every family knows the immense joy that the arrival of a baby can bring. But every parent or carer also knows the anxiety of this sudden responsibility. The sleepless nights, the doubt, the questions – these are all natural and common experiences during the 1,001 days from conception to a baby’s second birthday.

Our key Start for Life services are:

  • Midwifery services
  • Health visiting services
  • Infant feeding support
  • Parental mental health support and parent infant relationship support
  • Parenting support

All these services are available in Torbay for parent and carers-to-be, and if you have a child under two-years-old. The Start for Life offer is part of the family hubs approach for children, young people and families across Torbay.

Whether it is from healthcare professionals or volunteers, family or friends, there is a diverse range of support and services available in this country. However, it is not always easy for families to access information about what support is available.
