The Parent Hub

Join Possums Parent Hub (PIPPS)

Stay socially connected with Possums Parent Hub (PIPPS)!

Join our newly launched Possums Parent Hub (PIPPS) groups.

The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly forced everyone to find alternative ways to stay socially connected. Possums Parent Hub (PIPPS) program has adapted to offer mums groups with a difference. They are facilitated by our Parent Mentors who have expertise in the Possums Programs and are free to attend once you join Possums Parent Hub (PIPPS). Why not enjoy the company of other parents whose baby is in the first year of life and share tips and tricks to help each other navigate this challenging time in history? We currently have one online group per month and we are working towards creating even more opportunities for parents to connect online. 

It's common to feel alone, stressed or worried about your baby's crying, breastfeeding or sleep problems. As a member of Possums Parent Hub (PIPPS), you will receive access to all the Possums programs (Neuroprotective Developmental Care) in dozens of short videos and also easy-to-read written guides for parents - a once off cost buys indefinite access! Inside Possums Parent Hub (PIPPS) portal you'll meet Dr Pamela Douglas (Founder, GP-researcher), Renee Keogh (RN-lactation consultant, NDC accredited practitioner), Deb Spink (Possums Parent Hub (PIPPS) co-ordinator, perinatal mental health advocate), and Anya Snyder (mental health nurse practitioner). Click here to see the Possums Parent Hub (PIPPS) portal content.
