What All Families Need
(even if they don’t realise it) and what we need to pay and use our taxes to provide

For Parents-To-Be and Pregnant Women

Parents-to-be and pregnant women need a supportive, caring, guiding hand.
Some people have it from family relatives and their own parents. But not everyone does.
So we need to be paying and using taxes to train professionals who can provide that support. Community midwives and health visitors.
And we need to invest in civic institutions and community development professionals, who can try and promote those caring relationships between parents and families. Family centres, community centres.
And for the generation of parents, who are in a complete mess in their lives – because they were sexually abused as a child, experiencing domestic abuse, in debt, with terrible shit housing, isolated and lacking confidence that any attempt to create a human connection is going to result in a positive experience – we need professionals – who can invest heavily in these individual parents, developing a caring relationship with the parent.
