About Dorpip


Tags:

Every baby deserves the best start in life. DorPIP helps parents build strong, loving bonds with their babies during the crucial first 1001 days — the foundation for lifelong mental health and wellbeing.

We provide free specialist therapy and support to families across Dorset who are struggling to connect with their babies due to stress, trauma, or mental health challenges.

By donating, you’ll help parents feel more confident, babies feel more secure, and families flourish. Together, we can nurture brighter beginnings.

Help give every baby the best possible start.

Your Impact

At DorPIP, we have been helping to transform the lives of babies and their carer for over 7 years. In 2024 we saw 277 babies in our service. Parents who once felt anxious, isolated or unsure grow in confidence and connection — and their babies thrive as a result.

💛 Stronger Bonds: 9 out of 10 parents tell us they feel more connected and responsive to their baby after working with us.
💛 Better Wellbeing: Families report reduced stress, improved mood, and a stronger sense of hope for the future.
💛 Brighter Futures: By supporting early relationships, we’re helping to lay the foundations for healthy brain development, emotional resilience, and lifelong mental health.

Every donation helps change the story for a family — from struggling to flourishing.
