The Families' Health and Wellbeing Service are offering virtual group sessions on a range of subjects; including ‘Moving on to Solid Foods', 'Amazing Babies, Amazing Brains', 'Infant Feeding', 'Safer Sleep' and 'Toilet Training'.  The sessions will be facilitated by Health Visitors, who will share information and aim to answer any questions you may have.  

Our friendly, informal virtual groups are open to parents and carers living in Staffordshire.   

To attend the virtual group session, you will need to book through our online bookings page to receive a joining link.  The groups are delivered over Microsoft Teams, but you won't need any special equipment or to download any apps, just a smartphone, tablet or laptop and a valid email address. We do recommend, if possible, that you join via a laptop or tablet to enable you to participate in the 'chat text' option. virtual group laptop.png
