Helping mums and dads in local communities share their experience of parenting
Adapting to life with a new baby is a challenge.
Whether it’s feeding, sleeping, or teething, we all like some friendly support sometimes. SSBC’s Family Mentors are here to help.
Practitioners from a number of services in Nottingham may speak to you about the service; this includes people like your Health Visitor, Midwife, Pregnancy Mentor or Family Hub worker. They will then contact the Family Mentor team and ask them to arrange a visit.
If you live in one of the SSBC areas - Aspley, Bulwell, Hyson Green & Arboretum, or St Ann's you will be contacted automatically by one of our team during your pregnancy and offered the service or you can self refer using the form below.
This service is FREE.

“My Family Mentor is amazing. She's been extremely supportive, professional and kind. She's been there whenever I needed to vent, or needed support. She has been my guide through raising my kids and has helped me in ways that I can’t even put into words. I have gained so much confidence through her. Thank you SSBC.”
