Resource Hub

Parenting support for everyday family life

Welcome to your Parent Well at Work Resource Hub — a place to find practical advice, helpful ideas and support for the everyday challenges of family life.

As your organisation is part of the Parent Well at Work programme, you have access to this hub as part of your workplace parenting support package.

Balancing work and family life isn’t always easy. Whether you’re wondering how to support your child’s emotions, navigating a new stage of development, managing challenges around school or simply looking for ideas to make family life a little easier, we’re here to help with useful information and support.

We’ve brought together a collection of bite-sized parenting resources, blogs and podcasts from Children in Northern Ireland and Parentline NI, organised around the topics that matter to parents and carers.

You don’t need to read everything or have a particular question in mind. Browse the topics below, dip into a quick guide or listen to a podcast whenever it suits you.

Think of this as your go-to place for parenting support alongside your working life.
