Detailed description
The first years of a child's life are particularly important for the healthy development of a child. Pregnancy and birth in particular are often associated with major changes and uncertainties for (expectant) parents and families. Overwork in everyday life, social isolation, psychological stress, addiction problems, illnesses, young age or material poverty can lead to excessive demands.
During this time, you as (expectant) parents may need information or health and psychosocial advice and support to strengthen and support you in your efforts to ensure that your child grows up healthy and well.
The Early Help field of action offers you as (expectant) parents or families with infants and toddlers aged 0-3 years this support around birth and the first years of life.
Central offers in Hamburg are for example
- the baby guides at the maternity clinics,
- local family teams and regional network structures,
- Family midwives,
- Family health and pediatric nurses
- Social educators
If necessary, they will accompany you to appointments with doctors or authorities, for example. With your consent, they will refer you to other support agencies in the regional network if necessary.
