Parents' Week is a celebration of the important role parents play in their children's lives. The week takes place every October, in 2017 Parents' Week is from 23rd - 27th October.
As well as celebrating the amazing, and often difficult, job parents do, the week gives Parenting NI an opportunity to focus on issues affecting parents and to highlight the support available.
The aims of Parents' Week are to raise awareness of the importance of resilience, to provide parents with the support to strengthen relationships, encourage parents to be more confident when talking to their children about feelings and emotions, and give parents the tools to build their children's resilience.
If you or your child require support or advice then please contact our Parent Support Officer Caroline Morelli.
