Welcome to Dufferin Parent Support Network

Our mission is to encourage, educate and support parents of school-aged children by providing opportunities to build positive parenting skills and healthy community connections.

This has been an unusual and challenging workshop season. DPSN is thankful for our wonderful facilitators who were flexible and adaptable in providing our spring series of workshops online.

Thank you, too, to our parents, caregivers and professionals for your patience and flexibility as we worked through the bumps in providing online workshops. We appreciated your kind words through the learning curve and your willingness to not just listen in the workshops but to share your video feed and participate.

We hope that we can continue to grow and adapt to meet the needs of parents in our community. We always welcome comments, feedback and questions.

Summer Workshops
DPSN does not typically provide workshops over the summer months. However this is not a typical year, and we are looking for ways to continue supporting parents. Please check in on our Facebook page or website or join our email list.

Updated Resources
Check out our updated Resources page for parenting articles, books, websites, handouts and videos, broken down by topic. If you don't find what you're looking for, send us an email. We'll continue adding resources, so please check back!

Volunteer Opportunities
Do you have fundraising or board member experience? DPSN is seeking volunteers who share our philosophy of positive parenting to join our team.
For more information, please see our volunteer opportunities

By supporting parents, DPSN helps kids in Dufferin grow up to be productive adults and well rounded community members.

The Dufferin Parent Support Network gratefully acknowledges the financial and in-kind contributions of our sponsors and partners.
