A lone parent group in Yorkshire.
A health visitor and a social worker met along with a family centre worker to plan 'a working group for parents within the community who were perceived to have difficulty in appreciating and providing for the needs of their children and who had themselves had an impoverished nurturing experience'. The idea was to establish a group of lone parents who were making frequent clinic contacts to run for 6-8 weeks. It was to look at issues such as trust, self-esteem, parenting experience, expectations and sexuality. The group achieved its modest aims resulting in both a dropping off of clinic attendances and a less anxious social services profile in most of the women's lives.
