What is the Parent Project?
This project is here to support parents who are concerned about their child's well-being.
We offer expert advice and guidance to families who are worried about their young people, helping you navigate any challenges together.
How do I access support?
Once you fill out the sign-up form, you’ll be able to access all the support options available. We’ll ask for a few details about you and your family so we can provide the best possible support tailored to your needs.
What type of support is there?
We offer online and face-to-face workshops. You can also book wellbeing discussions or one-to-one sessions with our team.
Do I pay for support?
No, you don’t need to worry about costs—thanks to funding from Argyll & Bute Council, all the support is completely free for parents and carers of children aged 4-18 living in Argyll & Bute.
Do you need much information?
The Parent Project, in partnership with the local authority, is here to help you find the support that’s right for your family. We never share your personal information with anyone, but if we believe another service might be a better fit for your needs, we may suggest a referral to ensure you get the best possible help.
