Additional Information

NorPIP (Northamptonshire Parent Infant Partnership) is an incredible charity working to provide parent infant psychotherapy to families. We know that having a baby can be tough, especially if mental health problems like postnatal depression, psychosis, depression or anxiety are making life tougher for parents. NorPIP provides parent infant psychotherapy to help parents get back up on their feet again, so whether it was a traumatic birth, or a break up or domestic violence affecting mum or dad's emotions, we're here to help through family therapy with the baby. Our goals are to enable every parent to find their love for their baby and infant and give them the skills they need to raise their infant in a loving caring home.
