Start for Life

Start for Life Lewisham has now transitioned to the Lewisham Parent and Infant Relationship Service (PAIRS). More information about PAIRS will be available on this page soon. In the meantime, if you are a parent who would like additional support or help, please let your midwife or health visitor know.

If you are having suicidal thoughts, please call 999 or, if you can, go to A&E or visit the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust website
