About Parenting Week 2025

Parenting Week is dedicated time to recognising, celebrate, and support the vital role that parents and carergivers play in raising children and supporting families across Northern Ireland.

This year’s theme is “Parent Well”, focuses both on how we can support parents to parent well, and on the importance of self-care for parents themselves.

Throughout the week, ParentLine NI will be sharing events, tips, and resources to help parents look after themselves and their families.
