SHANNON FAMILY RESOURCE CENTRE
INVITES YOU TO BE APART OF A
PARENTING PEER SUPPORT NETWORK.
Our Family support worker Cathal has met with a lot of parents who are keen to develop a Parenting Peer Support Network in Shannon, many of these parents have completed parenting programmes through Shannon Family Resource Centre or other agencies in the community. The overwhelming sense from parents is that its good to get out of the house and meet other parents and its great to share information with one another to keep informed of what's going on in the community and to share information and resources relevant to supporting children and families with one another.
The Parenting Peer Support Group will be piloted between September and December 2023, funding of €2000 was secured from the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth earlier this year to support the establishment of the network in the community. The plan is to facilitate 2 meetings per month starting on Tuesday 5th September 2023 from 9:30am to 11am at Shannon Family Resource Centre. The calendar below highlights the upcoming meeting dates and also dates for First Aid Training for members of the Peer Support Group.
If you are interested in attending the peer support group on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month and have time to attend the First Aid Training and would like to secure a space please submit your expression of interest in the contact form at the bottom of the page.
