CHAT HV
CHAT HV is our innovative program aimed to support military families across Europe and the Far Commands.
Through a combination of face to face and online sessions led by a trained SSAFA Health Visitor, our aim is to give parents both educational support and the opportunity to develop a peer support network to help them through the various stages of parenting.
Face to face sessions will be held in SHAPE, Sennelagar, Naples and Gibraltar with online sessions taking place in Kenya and Canada, however these are also available for families from anywhere in the world to attend.
Once a month we will be hosting an online drop in session called Let’s Talk which although facilitated by a Health Visitor, will be fully parent led with them having the opportunity to ask any questions or raise any concerns they might have.
We are aware of the unique difficulties serving families face when it comes to building support networks including being able to support their child’s development whilst also navigating living in a foreign country with the knowledge that they could be moved several times before their child is old enough to start school.
These sessions were received well during 2025 so we are excited to bring them into 2026 and beyond.
