Join the Essex Peer to Parent Network

As a member of the Essex Peer to Parent Network you will join a highly committed group that aims to strengthen and develop peer support for parents in pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Joining the Essex Peer to Parent Network enables you to work with other organisations, groups and services across Essex to raise awareness of the benefits of peer support and help support more families.

Being part of the network provides the opportunity to build relationships with healthcare professionals and other valuable services in your local area and to share with and learn from others.

Together, we can help more families to get the support they need, when they need it.
