Peer Support for Parents is a new project Outside the Box is working on, which involves talking to parents with more complex needs who might be missed by existing support services and working with them to set up peer support groups.

This new project builds upon the Mums Supporting Mums work in rural areas that supported and encouraged peer support and small scale initiatives for parents, including mums who had poorer mental wellbeing or were facing other challenges.

Over the next year we will be working with interested organisations, people, communities and families to explore what things help support different parents and families.
