Healthy Families Programmes in Hertfordshire

Healthy Families: Right from the Start 

Supporting Families with Children Aged 0-5 Years

The early years are a vital time for setting the foundations for a happy, healthy future. 

HENRY Healthy Families: Right from the Start is a FREE 8-week programme designed to give parents and carers the tools, confidence, and support they need to give their little ones the best start in life.

Our programme is run in partnership with Beezee Families, offering friendly and practical support in local venues across Hertfordshire.

 

Is this Programme for You?

Do you live in Hertfordshire and have a child aged 0-5 years?

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • "I wish I felt more confident as a parent."
  • "I’d love some ideas for giving my child a healthy start in life."
  • "I want to make mealtimes less stressful for my family."
  • "I’d like my child to eat more fruit and vegetables."
  • "I want to spend more quality time being active together as a family."

If you answered yes to any of these, our programme is here to help. Over 8 weeks, we’ll explore these topics and more in a fun, supportive environment.

 

How It Works

Each term, we offer free face-to-face and online sessions, so you can choose the option that best suits your family.

Face-to-Face Sessions

  • Crèche facilities available – bring your little ones along while you take part.
  • A welcoming space to connect with other parents, share experiences and find support in a friendly and understanding environment.

Online Sessions

  • Interactive group discussions with parents and trained facilitators.

What You’ll Gain from Both Options:

  • Expert support to build confidence in making small changes that lead to a healthier, happier family life.
  • A friendly, supportive environment to ask questions and explore new ideas.

Whichever option you choose, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to create healthy habits that last a lifetime!
