OXFORD PARENT-INFANT PROJECT
OXPIP offers intensive therapeutic help to parents and their babies in Oxfordshire and surrounding areas in the first two years. We support families by working with parents and infant together, to build on the positive, to boost parental confidence, and help the parents be led by the needs of the baby. We know that OXPIP's unique approach can, and does help.
