Connection Support helps vulnerable people in challenging situations across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes. Our 'Boost' service provides support, motivation, encouragement and advice to parents across Buckinghamshire as they take steps towards creating a more stable and positive environment in which their children can thrive.

- Are open minded and resilient to set backs.

- Developing family routines, e.g., bedtime, morning, mealtimes.
- Setting boundaries around behaviour and effectively maintaining those boundaries.
- Developing a support network, contacting local baby/toddler groups or joining parenting classes.
- Developing the parents own self esteem.

What we can offer you:

- Appropriate ongoing training.
