Empowering Parents Empowering Communities (EPEC) helps children and families get the very best start in life. 

Parents attend eight weekly two-hour sessions, plus an introductory session, where they are supported to connect and bond with their babies and connect with other parents in the area.

EPEC courses are highly interactive, offering an engaging and creative blend of small and large group discussion, role play, demonstrations, information sharing and reflection.

Baby and Us covers topics such as:

• Following your baby’s cues
• How to feel more confident in your role as a parent
• Learning to communicate responsively with your baby
• Building a good attachment between you and your baby
• An opportunity to develop friendships with other parents
• Games, singing, physical touch and play to have fun with your baby
• Understanding your baby’s temperament
• Thinking about your relationships within the family and how these affect you and your baby
• Support to understand your baby’s crying/ sleeping / feeding, and the practicalities of your baby’s routine
