Parentline helpline service drops into town

Parentline is inviting mums, dads and all others interested in the care and welfare of children to information sessions about how the professional counselling, education and support service can help.

Presented by Parentline counsellor Ernest Wong, each session will run for roughly an hour and talk about how support is offered over phone, email and WebChat, as well as what other sources of help are available. There will be a live demonstration on how the helpline works by linking up to Parentline direct from the session and Q&As will be very welcome.
