About this service
Early Help is not a service, but the way professionals, communities and families work together across Birmingham. The definition we use in Birmingham is from central government:
“Early Help is the total support that improves a family’s resilience and outcomes or reduces the likelihood of a problem getting worse”.
Early Help could include the provision of emergency financial assistance, food, support with an emerging learning difficulty or advice on breast feeding. It could be a youth intervention that helps a young person get involved in positive activity, or it could be emotional support that prevents a mental health problem from developing.
Family Action lead as the voluntary sector across West Birmingham, which consist of Perry Barr and Ladywood Localities.
