ParentConnect 

The Children, Youth and Families team are launching a new group for parents and carers called ParentConnect. Our vision for ParentConnect is to:

​- invite parents and carers to start to have conversations about parenting
- enable parents and carers to share challenges and possible solutions
- encourage parents and carers by creating connections with other parents
- share experience, strength and hope around parenting and faith.

We will be running another five themed sessions, weekly on a Tuesday evening 7.30 -9.00 pm, starting on 8th September in St Joseph's cafe. Each session we will be discussing a different aspect of parenting. We hope that these sessions are just the beginning of parents and carers connecting with each other and carrying on the conversation.
