Parent Support

If you are feeling a bit blue, have a low mood or are just not as happy as you want to be, join us for a Parent Support event where you can talk freely about the stressful times of parenting, changed roles, and everything in between. Babies welcome.

Our Parent Supporters facilitate events every two months. You can view the current Cuidiú DSE events sheet on our latest news page to get further details on dates and times of Parent Support events.

Parent Supporters are mothers that have been trained with communication, facilitation and counselling skills; (but are not actual counsellors); they can provide a listening ear and support for anyone who would like to talk in confidence about the ups and downs of parenting.
