Expecting Parents & Families — Pregnancy to 6 Years

RelateFirst START

Helping parents build strong relationships with each other and with their child from the very beginning.

Start together. Grow together.

Who it is for

  • Expecting parents preparing for the arrival of a child
  • Mothers, fathers and partners parenting together
  • Caregivers supporting a child from birth to six years
  • Parents navigating the transition to parenthood

Why it matters

The earliest years shape attachment, emotional regulation and the relational patterns a child carries forward. Parents who are supported together — not separately — build a stronger foundation for the whole family.

START is for both parents and caregivers together — mothers, fathers, partners and the wider caregiving team — from pregnancy through the first six years.

What it develops

  • Shared understanding of parenting as a partnership
  • Confidence in responding to a young child's needs
  • Emotional regulation under pressure and fatigue
  • Communication habits that protect the couple relationship
