EPUT: Together with Baby
Together with Baby (Essex Parent Infant Mental Health Service) is a specialist parent and infant mental health service for mothers, fathers and their infants in the first 1001 days of their life - conception to age two. We offer a safe and non-judgemental space to parents who feel they have not bonded with their baby in the way they had hoped or who have difficult feelings about being a parent. Both can be confusing and uncomfortable and we are here to help parents further understand the difficulties they are encountering.
