Our Building Attachment and Bonds service (BABS) has launched a new film which documents the great success and life changing outcomes delivered by St Helens BABS pilot service.

The service in St Helens has supported many vulnerable parents and babies in the area to help build good secure bonds and break negative cycles.

Please watch our short film below to find out more about how we’re helping vulnerable parents in St Helens.

Anyone can be referred into the BABS service if they are pregnant or have a baby aged 0 to six months. We support mums, dads or partners and carers. We encourage referrals for both parents. Referrals can be made from conception to six months via your midwife, health visitor, GP, social worker and staff from the local family hubs and voluntary sector.
