Early Help

Early Help in Trafford aims to make sure that services to support children, young people and their families are there when they need them.

Early Help support is for the whole family; children, young people and adults. We recognise you know your family best and when one person is facing a challenge it can affect others, and sometimes there is a significant life event that affects everyone.
