Often, women who have experienced struggles with mental health feel that their relationship with their child has been somehow impacted. The Acorn group is structured to strengthen the relationship between mother and child through experiences of shared play, music and movement, and some dedicated parent-only time for reflection.

The Volunteers involved in the Acorn Parent-Infant Attachment Groups will work alongside the multidisciplinary Acorn team including the Dance Worker, Infant Mental Health Specialist and Family Support Worker, to ensure the effective delivery of the Acorn Parent-Infant Attachment programs.
