Family midwives
Support and care for families in special life situations
The birth of a child can be a particular challenge in an already stressful life situation. In this case, an early help specialist, such as a family midwife or a pediatric nurse, can offer a helpful form of support in the first year of the child's life.
You've come to the right place if you:
- still feel very young and inexperienced
- are a single or single parent
- are new to the city or country
- are unhappy or overwhelmed
- are suffering from addiction
-are affected or threatened by domestic violence
- if your child was born prematurely, is not healthy or has died
- if your pregnancy or parenthood does not feel right
- if you need more or longer support than your midwife can provide
You will receive support from family midwives and family pediatric nurses. These specially trained professionals will help you at home. They provide support and answer questions about parenthood up to your child's first birthday.
This service is free of charge and we look forward to hearing from you.
