What We Do
We are a voluntary programme for young first-time mothers (and their partners), aged 19 years or under, who live within Coventry. Our specially trained nurses provide regular home visits, from early pregnancy up until your child is aged one or you can choose to stay until your child is aged two. FNP uses methods based on attachment theory, relationships, and self-efficacy. Your family nurse will build a trusting and supportive relationship with you and your family. They will guide you so that you will be able to adopt healthier lifestyles for yourself and your baby, provide good care for your baby and toddler, and plan your future. Your family nurse will also deliver the Healthy Child Programme during this time.
Your family nurse will help you with the following:
- Your life skills
- Your health and wellbeing
- Looking after your baby
- Your baby’s development
- Safety and stability
- Connecting with your baby
- Relationships
- Family and support network
- Goals and aspirations
