Feeling unsure or overwhelmed? You don’t have to figure it out alone.
When you’re facing big decisions, navigating systems, or simply feeling unsure of what to do next, having the right support can make all the difference.
Belongside One-on-One gives you the chance to talk directly with a trained parent peer. We’ve walked this path ourselves, so we understand the emotions, the juggle, and the challenges. A peer worker will listen, share what’s helped other families, and support you to find the next step that feels right for your family.

What families are saying
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Belongside One-on-One. In the free 1-hour call, the peer support worker answered all my questions. She also provided tips on things I hadn’t even thought of yet. And even sent me document templates that I still use today. I ended the call feeling confident I was on the right path. And had the practical information I needed to support my son through his transition to school.
