Parent Link services are offered to parents on a voluntary basis to help them provide a more supportive environment for their children.
Volunteers who are themselves parents and experienced in the issues which concern families with young children, visit parents in their own homes. Volunteers are supervised by a professional coordinator.
The service is available to parents with at least one child under the age of five years.
Parents work with the coordinator to plan the parenting skills and support they need. Volunteers then develop activities to help parents build on these skills. They also provide links to local community services and supports.
In this way parents determine their own goals at the same time as being offered new skills. Parents are encouraged to apply skills they learn in solving particular parenting issues to address other issues which may arise in their family in the future.
Parent Link services are offered in a number of locations across the state.
