support groups - support for parents by parents

Parents provide one of the best types of support another parent can get. Here are some local groups where you can meet other parents in a similar situation to you.

We want to help local parent groups to develop and grow so that every parent who needs it can get support from someone like them.

We can:

give advice on getting started
provide free publicity
help with managing groups as they grow

You can keep up to date with our news and events information by signing up for one of our e-mail newsletters.

We have also put together some ‘must have’ contacts that every parent should know about in our 'People to talk to leaflet' which you can download below. Groups come and go, and contact details can change, so please check our website where we always aim to provide the latest information.
