Oxford Parent Infant Project (OXPIP)

2022 , 2023 & 2024 Grant Recipients

OXPIP provides parent-infant therapy to families who are experiencing a barrier to bonding with their baby, working from conception to baby’s second birthday. 15% of all babies born experience significant parent-infant relationship difficulties, and referrals to OXPIP from the Didcot area have grown 92% from 2020 to 2023. This funding enables OXPIP to provide an additional half day a week of parent-infant psychotherapy and family support in the Powerhouse area, supporting not only an improvement in parent-infant relationships, but also benefitting parents’ mental health and their ability to engage with their local networks and community.
