Family Hub

Welcome the the Lincolnshire Recovery College Family Hub!

Free courses for parents and expectant parents to support mental health and wellbeing.

The Family Hub Programme provides short courses for individuals who are within the perinatal period (pre-natal or postpartum) with a child who is up to 2 years old.

The courses, aimed to help support you with your wellbeing and mental health, will be delivered in bite sized sections lasting one hour and are run by people who have real life experience of mental health and wellbeing challenges related to the perinatal period alongside healthcare professionals and educators.

The courses include signposting and support, are relaxed and informal and children are welcome.

These courses are free to attend and will be held in the Children's centres across Lincolnshire that have been designated as Family hubs. We will also offer the sessions online via MS Teams.
