About
Fresh Start began in 2018 to work with women who have recently had children removed from their care by local authorities.

They encourage women to take a pause from being a mother and supports them to move forward in life.
We spoke to Mike Davies, manager of Jig-So and Reflect in Swansea about their Reflect service.
In 2021 we spoke to Mike about Jig-So, an early intervention service to support the wellbeing of vulnerable expectant parents. He also manages Reflect, a service set up in 2018, to support the families that aren't able to stay together once they have gone through Jig-So’s intervention. Parents are only referred to the service from Jig-So and so all of them will have come through social services.
