The Unfiltered Parent Circle
A space for parents and carers to talk, connect and feel less alone
Parenting can be wonderful, exhausting, joyful, frustrating and overwhelming, sometimes all in the same day.
The Unfiltered Parent Circle is a welcoming, judgement free space where parents and carers can come together to share experiences, talk openly and connect with people who understand.
There is no pressure to have the right words, no expectation to have everything figured out and no need to explain why you're finding things difficult.
Just real conversations with real people.
Whether you're navigating additional needs, family challenges, education concerns, wellbeing struggles or simply the everyday realities of parenting, you are welcome here.
What to expect
Each session offers a relaxed and supportive environment where parents and carers can:
- Meet and connect with other parents and carers
- Share experiences in a safe and understanding space
- Access practical information and guidance when needed
- Build confidence and feel less isolated
- Take time for themselves alongside people who understand
Some sessions may include themed discussions, guest speakers or practical workshops, while others simply provide an opportunity to chat over a brew and connect with others.
There is no obligation to speak and everyone is welcome to participate in whatever way feels comfortable.
Who is it for?
The Unfiltered Parent Circle is open to all parents, carers and family members.
You do not need a diagnosis, referral or professional involvement to attend.
Whether you're seeking support, connection, information or simply a place where you can be yourself, we'd love to welcome you.
Why we created it
One of the things we hear most often from parents and carers is that they feel alone.
Not because people don't care, but because family life can be complicated. Many people are carrying worries, navigating challenges and trying to do their best without having a space where they can speak openly about how things are really going.
We created The Unfiltered Parent Circle because everyone deserves somewhere they can show up as themselves, without judgement, pressure or expectations.
A place where conversations are honest, support is genuine and nobody feels they have to figure everything out alone.
