About HENRY At HENRY we are passionate about babies and children getting the
best possible start in life. This means supporting the whole family to make
positive lifestyle changes, creating healthier and happier home environments,
and building healthier communities. Over the past 12 years we have supported
thousands of families to transform family life for the better in all sorts of
ways – including improved nutrition, emotional wellbeing, parenting skills,
breastfeeding, and getting more active. We have worked with over 15,000 health
and early years practitioners and collaborated with NHS trusts, local
authorities, and many other partners. Laying the foundations for a brighter
future What happens in childhood has a profound bearing on life chances and on
physical and emotional health throughout childhood and beyond. Parents want the
best for their children, but it isn’t always easy for parents to know what
‘best’ is, or to change entrenched family habits to provide a healthier home
environment. HENRY provides a wide range of support for families from pregnancy
to age 12 including workshops, programmes, resources and online help. All of our
support for families is underpinned by the HENRY approach to supporting
behaviour change which helps parents gain the confidence, knowledge and skills
they need to help the whole family adopt a healthier, happier lifestyle and to
give their children a great start in life. We also work with health, early
years, and family support practitioners, helping them develop the skills to
support families make real and lasting changes that will help the whole family
have a brighter future.
