Parent Thread Information

Parent Thread is a non profit based on Waddawurrung Country (Geelong region), created to support connection, belonging, and wellbeing for parents and caregivers. We believe parenting isn’t something we were meant to do alone. Yet too many people enter the parenting journey without the support networks they need, leading to isolation, overwhelm, and loneliness. Parent Thread exists to change that. Through community-based, connection-focused programs, we create spaces where parents feel seen, supported, and valued, where they can find "the people who get it." Our offerings include: 🧵 Bloom and Connect – a six-week wellbeing program for expectant mums focused on building peer support and mental wellbeing before baby arrives. 🌀 Reflective Circles – gentle, facilitated gatherings where parents can pause, share, and reconnect with themselves and others. 👶 Intergenerational Playgroups – bringing together older adults and young children to foster joy, play, and community connection. 📣 Events & Collaborations – including community talks, parenting workshops, and festival activations. Parent Thread is grounded in lived experience, research, and strong community partnerships. We've worked with local councils, community houses, allied health providers, and passionate individuals to co-design offerings that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and genuinely impactful. Our vision is a world where every parent feels supported and no one has to navigate early parenthood alone. Whether you're an expectant parent, a community partner, or someone who believes in the power of human connection, we’d love to weave something meaningful together.
