Baby Steps is available to all pregnant women who live in Blackpool.

It is an evidence-based programme aimed at supporting parents to manage the emotional and physical transition into parenthood. The sessions are facilitated by a Family Engagement Worker and a Health Visitor. Family Engagement Workers will visit parents prior to the programme starting and will continue to support parents throughout the programme.

Baby Steps takes place over six weeks antenatally and is followed by three post-natal sessions following the birth of the babies.
