- Parental Resilience
- Social Connections
- Knowledge of Parental and Child Development
- Concrete Support in Times of Need
- Social and Emotional Competence of Children

They are judgement-free zones where we share experiences and resources while learning from one another. Parents are the leaders and experts in their own lives.
