Home-Start Dunfermline provides a service to the whole of the West Fife and Dunfermline area – from Aberdour in the East to Kincardine in the West, and as far as the M90 motorway. Parenting can be challenging for anyone, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life. For some, it’s a particular struggle because they are also coping with issues such as post-natal depression, illness or disability, isolation or multiple births. That’s when parents need support and that’s when Home-Start Dunfermline can help.
A carefully selected volunteer, who has parenting experience, can visit regularly and offer emotional and practical support. This friendly parent-to-parent support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track. We also run groups at which parents can meet other parents and get support from each other.
