OXPIP

OXPIP Oxford Parent-Infant Project (OXPIP) provides free parent-infant psychotherapy for parents and infants from pregnancy to 2 years.

Feeling disconnected from your new baby is far more common than most people realise. Donate to us or refer via our website. OXPIP (Oxford Parent Infant Project) is one of the pioneers of parent-infant psychotherapy. Founded in 1998 we have been working in Oxfordshire for fifteen years supporting parents who struggle with the demands of a new baby. We work with babies up to the age of two and their

parents, normally the mother, but we have worked with many fathers as well. Our team of clinicians is highly trained. Backgrounds include Child Psychotherapy, Adult Psychotherapy and Clinical Psychology as well as including prior qualifications in Health Visiting, Nursing, Midwifery, Social Work and Teaching. All have undergone Infant Observation Training, and are trained in the use of video through the (NICE approved) Video Interaction Guidance approach.This mix of backgrounds and approaches gives our work additional strength and rigour. We are part of a growing national movement of people and organisations who are bringing greater focus to the importance of early intervention. We work with professionals and policy makers to raise awareness about the importance of parent baby attachment and infant mental health. This work continues to inform mainstream national policy. We also provide specific and innovative training in attachment theory and practice and other interventions that support parent and baby bonding. Our families come from a wide range of social, economic and ethnic backgrounds. Working through children's centres and GP practices, we are currently helping over 300 families in Oxfordshire.

It's Small Charities Week (23-30 June) during which every £1 you donate is worth £2.25 to OXPIP. We do amazing work helping parents attach to their babies. Every parent wants to bond well with their baby but some families experience difficulties such as a baby being born prematurely, a parent experiencing postnatal mental health problems or having had previous history of baby loss, so those bonding feelings can get disrupted. We help 350 Oxfordshire families every year to find hope, relief and joy together. Please do consider donating here

Big Give, Global’s Make Some Noise and NCVO are championing vital, small charities across the UK. Between 12pm (midday) 23rd June and 12pm (midday) 30th June, donate to a small charity and we'll double your donation so you can make double the difference.

Our CEO has left the office and is on her way to Cumbria to prepare for the big challenge walk this Saturday (have you seen the weather forecast 😱). It's not too late to make a pledge and anything you give will be doubled by our matched funder. Karen's going to get back cold, muddy and tired so please do cheer her on her way with a little pledge to make it all worthwhile.

OXPIP delivers free psychotherapy to help parents bond with their new baby. Bonding doesn't always come easy when parents have experienced challenges such as mental health difficulties, childhood trauma or a stressful conception, pregnancy or birth. OXPIP delivers compassion, expertise and hope to hundreds of families in Oxfordshire. hashtag
