Welcome to Family Hubs Leicestershire

At the heart of our communities, our Family Hubs have been established to support families, children and young people across Leicestershire.  Working with partner organisations our Hubs provide a one-stop shop and offer advice, information and resources to help families navigate every stage of life; from pregnancy, through your child’s early years, later childhood and into young adulthood.

Dads need support too. #menshealthweek

Parenting can be tough, and it’s okay to talk about it. Come and have honest conversations, real experiences, and simple ways to look after your mental health. And don’t forget—check in with a dad you know.

Five to Thrive and supporting someone with mental health challenges

Children and young people need connected relationships to build a healthy brain. We've all heard that our body needs 5 portions of fruit or veg a day to grow strong, well our brain needs 5 things Respond, Engage, Relax, Play, Talk.

How Five to Thrive can help families with financial worries manage stress

Money worries create enormous stress in families—sometimes called toxic stress when it’s constant and overwhelming. But when adults use Five to Thrive to stay connected, responsive, and nurturing, they help buffer children against the negative impact.
