Early help team uk
Hi does anyone have any experience of being referred to early help, they have just called to tell me I'm being referred due to the whole mess i caused this weekend, I'm obviously really worried but determined to turn my life around

Thank you for that Anna, it doesn't sound so bad i was terrified someone was just going to take my child away. So i think as long as i stay sober they will just be checking he is safe and cared for and offering any support

Oh you poor girl you sound so stressed. Try not to panic, this is going to your turning point. Good things can come from this.
The last thing anyone wants is to take your child away. They will offer you support and advise. Take everything, it is hard to be a single Mum so you can never have too much help.
Take care Tinker.

Hi Tinker, just saw the link that Anna posted - in truth it looks great. I worked with health visitors and social workers (not as one) for a few years and their primary goal is to care for the child by supporting the parent. It sounds like a good support system for you right now and I reckon you can blossom with it x

Not having William here is causing me so much angst and saddness, I cant imagine what being separated from your child must feel like.
Im not from the UK, but in the US the courts look very favorably on those who are proactive and can demonstrate that they are actively working on themselves.
Hope that helps a bit.

Stay sober for yourself too - it's time for the real Tink to reemerge, yeah?
I hope the early help team won't be too stressful for you - I'm sure they'll be able to offer you a lot of help and support.

Early Help sounds like it may be useful. Keep the family together, understand that you are integral player in reaching that goal. Early help... before the law comes to take your child away.
The blessing in all this, is that sobriety turns out to be better than drinking, and in the bargain, the child stays with you. I won't be able to see the program in action, but it sounds like it has potential.
