Welcome to the project “Get started, turn everything around! From education to engagement of parents and experts for better conditions in local communities”
The motivation for working on this project comes from our wish to improve mental health and well-being of parents.
There is a lack of public and systematic support for families, coming either from professionals, or as trustworthy information, or as networking among parents, such as informal and formal parent groups.
The project is responding to these shortcomings by making information and services more accessible to parents, and encourage them to network with each other.

Early parenthood is a highly sensitive and demanding period, which can lead to a decline in self-confidence, feelings of insecurity and loneliness due to the demands for adaptability and learning new skills.
There are a large number of sources of information for parents out there, but they are often not adapted to their needs: e.g. the content is not free, or professional and we see a lot of judgmental views on different parental choices.
OUR VISION:
Every parent has accessible & high quality support, regardless of where they live, of their socio-economic background or their values and lifestyle.
IS THIS FOR ME?
