Parent Support
Becoming a parent is a time of great change and as well as the obvious joys there are many challenges.
Helping You Navigate Parenthood
The role of the Cuidiú Parent Supporter is to provide support to parents as they find their feet and deal with the many ups and downs along this journey. As parents, being able to talk with ease, openly, honestly and without judgement about parenting in a safe environment is one of the most valuable services we offer through our Parent Support Sector.
Parenting Peer Support
Our Parent Supporters provide a listening ear as well as general support and evidence based information to support parents and carers throughout their parenthood journey.
Parent supporters do not offer advice or tell you how to be the best parents. They do not have any magic solutions. But they will give you a comfortable and welcoming environment and will provide a space for you to talk in confidence about the ups and downs of parenting.
Connecting You with Additional Parenting Support
Occasionally, a Peer Supporter may recognise that you’re in need of a bit more assistance. That’s nothing to worry about. Our volunteers are trained in peer support but they are not professionals, and part of their role involves helping you find the service that’s most appropriate to your situation.
