Parenting support services

In Brent we recognise that good parenting makes a big difference to a child's wellbeing and future success and that many parents will need help and guidance at some point in their parenting experience.

By supporting parents, we can help parents and carers bring up their children to:

be physically, mentally and emotionally healthy
stay safe in their communities and at home
enjoy their education and achieve to the best of their ability
contribute positively to their community.

Our parenting programmes are designed to provide you with information, guidance and support throughout your child's early years, childhood and teenage years.

Calling all dads!

Bring your little ones for fun, play and laughter at our Family Wellbeing Centres. Our Dad's Stay 'n Play session is the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with your children in a relaxed and friendly environment. Whether it's building with blocks, crafting, or just running around, there's something for everyone. Or, join our Dads Talk sessions to chat about building a healthy relationship with your child, and connect with other dads in the community.
