UNDERSTANDING KIDS

Welcome to the Fourth Trimester! The service is run by Rosie Knowles, Alix Riches-Barber and Lindsay Snow. We have been supporting new parents for over 10 years. Our 6-week course aims to lower parenting stress and promote more positive parenting experiences through evidence-based information and community.

Since our humble beginnings in Rosie's front room, 4T has constantly adapted to better serve its families. We currently offer a live online discussion group via Zoom at the same time as our in-person session at the Scotia Works (Leadmill Road, central Sheffield). We hope this will benefit not only our members outside of Sheffield, but also our local members and their partners who are unable to visit the Scotia Works on Monday mornings.
