Early Help Webinars
In previous years the service hosted Early Help Locality events but due to the COVID restrictions the following series of Early Help webinars from across the service area were presented. This was a great way to continue to bring the partnership across Hull together and keep everyone up to date with the services Early Help has to offer whilst allowing an opportunity for networking and a Q&A session with the presenters.

Modules
1. Understanding mental health & wellbeing
We introduce factors that contribute to positive mental health and wellbeing.
2. Nature and nurture
We explore how early experiences shape the way we perceive ourselves and relate to others, and how those experiences create the pathways in the brain that support our development.
3. How can I help?
We consider what a child’s behaviour might communicate about their underlying needs.
4. Mental health: everybody’s business
We reflect on the importance of positive mental health for everyone, focusing on the adults around a child.
