Peer mentors supporting parents at New Beginnings

After completing the core programme, some parents choose to stay involved by supporting others who are just beginning their journey.

Our peer mentor training offers a structured pathway into volunteering, including boundaries, listening skills, trauma awareness and self-care.

Mentors are supervised by staff and bring empathy, experience and hope to the wider New Beginnings community.

Revive and Refresh reflection group

Revive & Refresh is for parents who want to revisit key ideas from the programme once some time has passed.

Together we look again at themes like trust, safety, relationships and change, this time with the benefit of distance and new experiences.

Sessions are short, focused and gentle, with space to share wins, challenges and work in progress without judgement.
