How to support new parents in the pandemic

In case you missed it, we recently hosted a webinar discussing how organisations can support new parents in the pandemic. Joining our co-founder, Justine Alter, on the panel was Jeremy Macvean (The Father Hood), Dr. Nicole Highet (COPE) along with special guest moderator Dr. Laura Kirby.

As this is such a powerful and important discussion, we’re making this video an open resource to view at any time or share with your peers, leaders, colleagues and networks. Pour a cuppa, sit back and listen to our panellists as they discuss tips for parents navigating this unique time, and walk us through practical strategies for employers to support new parents in the workplace.

Below you’ll find the list of resources discussed in the webinar. Please reach out to us if you’d like to have our panel in your workplace, we can cover a range of topics.
