Parenting support and education (info sheet)

Parenting support and education encompass different types of interventions (e.g. information, training, counselling, etc.) directly linked to rearing children. The ultimate goals of parenting support and education are helping parents raise their children and having a positive impact on the physical, emotional and cognitive development of children. Several programmes have as their objective the promotion of health of children. This can include postnatal assistance, the prevention of obesity or the early detection of mental health problems such as ADHD.
