Parents' Support Network

Our Parents' Support Network is a group of working parents with shared interests and responsibilities who offer each other informal peer support on topics, such as managing the transition back to work and the challenges of being a working parent. All parents are welcome, including parents-to-be and grandparents.

Interested in joining us?

If you'd like to join the Parents' Support Network, and receive regular updates on upcoming events, please subscribe to our mailing list.

What we do

We are always considering new ways to bring parents and carers together - to share thoughts, experiences, stories, resources and hopefully even the odd laugh. If you have ideas or suggestions that would help you navigate these challenging times, please email them to alex@essex.ac.uk.

Let’s grow our community and make it stronger than ever in a time when we need it the most. And remember, you are not alone - we are all in this together!
