Parenting
Support
Parenting
is one of the toughest job we face in our lifetime. It is voluntary,
24 hours job without annual leave or sick-leave so ever. Becoming
a parent is just like beginning a new job with no training to deal
with so many challenges. However, being a parent can be a lot easier
with some support.
Bringing
up children in a different culture with a language barrier and lack
of information about education system makes parenting even tougher
for Kurdish and Turkish speaking parents.
Initially
a pilot joint work had been carried out with Hackney Parenting Project.
In the light of this project results, the parenting support project
was developed in January 2001, funded by Home
Office Family Policy Unit.
This
project involves setting up and running parenting groups, working
on culturally appropriate parenting packages, providing support
and advocacy for the individual parents and liaising with other
agencies regarding the parenting issues for the Kurdish and Turkish
Speaking Communities in Hackney.
