Welcome to your Village!

It takes a village to raise a child…
Despite being surrounded by people all the time, parenthood can often be a lonely business. The Village aims to challenge that! We have been running on Facebook for ten years and found our new home in 2025. 

We are an online community of parents and parents to be who are here for support and solidarity with an explicit NO JUDGEMENT rule. As we have been running so long, and with a clear ethos, this is a space of collaboration and care. We have brand- new members as well as OG Village elders. 

Run by an experienced clinical psychologist and author Dr Emma Svanberg- who specialises in pregnancy, birth and the early years of parenthood- this is a safe space to explore the ups and downs of being a parent. 
Emma runs the group on general group therapy guidelines. While this is not a therapeutic group, and it would be inappropriate to enter into therapeutic discussions, she uses her experience as a psychologist to ensure a safe and protected space during this often vulnerable period of life. We also have a team of trusted moderators who have been in the Village for years. 

You are about to enter a genuinely safe and welcoming place! Feel free to share your experience, your questions, comments and thoughts. But also respond as you would if we were all in a room together, with sensitivity and compassion.
Welcome to our Village! Glad to have you here xxx

“As well as being supported in my parenting… I’ve honestly learnt so much from the people in this group including the power of being open about my quirks. It feels like a wonderful group of the most un-judgemental supportive parenting friends.”
