Supporting Parent's Mental Health
January’s short days, gloomy weather, and tight budgets can feel challenging to parents. Every family faces unique challenges, but parents often put themselves last, focusing all their energy on their children.
If parents are feeling tired or low, it’s hard to stay strong and supportive for others. Taking time for themselves can be difficult but is essential part of caring for their family. That is why Parent Club have put together wellbeing tips for parents to help them look after themselves.
In this newsletter, we’ve gathered helpful resources, links, and tips to support and help parents with their mental health and wellbeing, offering ideas on things to do at home to look after themselves, tips for keeping active and managing stress and anxiety as well as help with money worries and how to eat healthy, comforting and affordable food.
We would appreciate your support in letting parents know about the advice and support available at Parent Club. By sharing this information, we can help ensure parents know where to turn for support during the winter months.
Below, you'll find key areas where we've provided assets for you to share:
Wellbeing for Parents
Mental health can affect the whole family, but parents often focus on their child and forget to look after themselves. Negative thoughts can impact how parents feel, while some can be acknowledged and dismissed, others may weigh parents down. Parent Club has lots of wellbeing tips and advice to support parents and carers during difficult times, plus some tips on how the whole family can look after their mental health.
Wellbeing for Expectant and New Parents
Expecting a baby can feel overwhelming for both mums and their partners, with all the advice and information out there. But it’s important they know they need to look after themselves. Parent Club have lots of tips to help parents-to-be to stay healthy and happy.
Those first days at home with a baby can be a whirlwind of nappies, feeds, and new experiences for parents. It’s an exciting time but parents can also feel tired, emotional and even a little weepy. Parent Club has lots of support to help any new parent.
Getting Financial Support
We all know that being a parent can cost a lot of money. Parent club has advice and information on organisations if parents are struggling to make their money last or they are worried about how they will pay their bills or manage their debts.
Eating on a Budget
The New Year can bring new resolutions, especially around healthy eating habits but it can be hard to find comforting food that is also healthy and affordable. Parent Club have gathered some recipes that are nutritious, budget-friendly, and the whole family can enjoy.

There are a number of campaign social posts which you could share directly from Parent Club's channels:
