About

ECD66CFB-C1B9-43B1-B4B4-A843A7D15C79_1_105_c_edited.jpg

Our goal at Imperfect Parents is to provide social support for all  parents from before baby arrives (antenatal classes), to the postnatal period (parent support groups), right up until your child heads off to school (playgroups)!

 

All our groups are LGBTQIA+ inclusive, where there is no "one right way" to build and nurture your whānau.

Connecting and sharing your experiences with other parents at a similar stage can bolster your confidence in yourself and your children, while creating community and support.

Our goal is support YOUR wellbeing, by normalising your experiences, normalising what is happening with your child, creating community, and reducing isolation​

Our underlying values:

  • If the parents are ok then the children will be fine - so we are here to support YOU first and foremost.

  • There is no "one right way" that will work for every parent/baby/whānau. We are all different people, living in different circumstances, with different upbringings and life experiences - so of course we will do this differently from one another!

  • Safe spaces encourage vulnerability, which breeds connection. Our spaces are judgment-free zones where you can share your challenges and your wins.

  • All feelings are welcome.

  • There is no such thing as a silly question!

With a focus on inclusivity, these are LGBTQIA+ friendly antenatal classes, where there is no "one right way" to build a whānau and be a parent.

All donations enable us to continue offering koha spaces to any parent who needs to use one, because we want our groups to be accessible for all parents, regardless of financial situations.

"I really appreciated having a regular space to come to each week where I was guaranteed support. I loved how the questions each week made me reflect on aspects of parenting/life I might not have otherwise thought about. I truly look forward to our group days!"
