Research showed there are many benefits to receiving the Community Mothers Programme, such as

• Parents and children were healthier
• Parents and children had stronger relationships with lots of reading, singing and play
• Parents were more likely to have positive well-being
  (Johnson, Howell, Molloy, 1993).

Community Families are building on the work of the Community Mothers Programme and would like to explore how Community Families can best support children, parents and their families. Together with parents we will focus on 7 areas that Community Families can have an impact on.
