Prevention and Early Help Services

Prevention and Early Help is the name we give to the way we support residents, families and communities in Stockport. We want people to live healthy and happy lives, we want to stop problems emerging in the first place or, if issues have emerged, we want to help people to address them and/or prevent and/or delay them from getting worse. We believe a joined up and cohesive offer will ensure our residents are clear about how they can access help early and prevent issues escalating.
