For Baby's Sake

For Baby’s Sake could be for you if you’re about to become a mum or dad to a new baby, and you want to bring an end to domestic abuse and create the best possible start in life for your baby. At each stage of the journey, we work therapeutically, providing support matched to the needs of everyone involved (yours, your co-parent’s, your baby’s and any other children‘s) to help you as your children grow and develop.

You and your co-parent decide to come to For Baby’s Sake during pregnancy and your involvement may last until your baby is two years old – a really important time in a child’s life when their brain is developing and important bonds are forming.
