Parental Conflict and Support

Join us for a relaxed, friendly free session designed for parents and carers of babies aged 0-12 months.
You’ll meet other families, enjoy a meal together, and take part in short, practical sessions led by trained family wellbeing workers.

This event focuses on three key topics from our My First 1000 Days programme:

Parental Conflict

• Learn the difference between healthy conflict, parental conflict, and domestic abuse, and understand how conflict can impact children’s wellbeing.
• Discuss causes of conflict, followed by practical tools and tips to communicate better and manage disagreements safely.
• Explore daily household and caregiving tasks, including how responsibilities are shared and how this varies across different cultures and family needs.

Mapping your Neighbourhood

• Map out local community support (health, food, baby groups, wellbeing activities, transport, accessibility).
• Share local knowledge, discover new services, and create a helpful take‑home resource of places and support in your area.

What’s included

• Expert-led group session
• Meet other parents and carers
• Free lunch
• Small gift for your and your baby
• Babies welcome!

This session is part of our My First 1000 Days series. Each event is a one‑off — come to as many as you like.
