Positive pathways programs

Posted By Yvofe39

"Positive pathways programs"

About: Children’s Services / Health Visiting

(as a service user),

Health visitor informed me about the positive pathway programs during one of the home visits. 

There are a wide range of activities we could sign up to - buggy walks, weaning workshops and baby massage etc 

I particularly enjoyed buggy walks as it got us out of the house for a couple hours, fresh air for babies and adult interaction for mummies! There were even complimentary coffee and biscuits for mummies, play mats and toys for babies in the community hall in Gortin after a walk!

Looking forward to starting the baby massage classes in a few weeks time!

Hello Yvofe39

Thank you for taking the time to comment on our new Positive pathways programme being organised collectively with our Health Visitors & Child Health Assistants across Carrickmore, Omagh and Gortin areas.

I am delighted you have found the activities such as the buggy walk you mentioned as a very positive experience and that you are looking forward to the baby massage shortly.

We have been very fortunate to have such venues to hold these gatherings and therefore be in a position to provide you with support in navigating parenting which can be very exciting and sometimes daunting. Coming together as groups of like minded people help build new friendships too.

Your feedback is very much appreciated and I with share this with the rest of the team.

I hope you continue to enjoy our planned activities and do share with any other friends who may benefit from our programmes.

Kind Regards

Mary Strudley Health Visitor Team Lead
