Being a parent or carer to a child or young person can often be difficult without emotional support and guidance there to help. Many parents feel confused by what information is available or struggle to access services close to home.
Our free National Parent Support Service tackles these issues in a new and innovative way by using a network of ‘virtual’ volunteers from across the country to support parents and carers through telephone calls, email and text message. The service is open weekdays 6pm to 10pm and weekends 10am to 1pm. Longer-term support is also available through our free befriending and counselling services.
Please signpost parents and carers you work with to our National Parent Support Service:
