Dear Friends,

As of today PPP is on Christmas Holidays.

We understand just because we are on holidays, it doesn’t mean life stops.

During this time people might find it hard and it can feel isolating.

We do not want people to feel alone.

If you need to connect, feel free to connect with us here on this Positive Powerful Parents red Facebook page or in the Parents Rights Network – Parents with Disability Facebook Group.

We are all here to support each other.

Take care and keep safe!

Your Friends at Positive Powerful Parents

Positive Powerful Parents members have been involved with creating a lived experience documentary that talks about some of the good things that can help parents when they are involved with child protection but also some of the not so good things that can happen when involved with child protection.

This documentary also shares hints for people who work with parents with disability.

The documentary will also be launched of November 27th

In the documentary the parents faces will be blurred for the safety of their children.

We thank the parents involved in the documentary for sharing parts of their story.

We will be sharing the documentary on our social media, here and on our videos and songs page. 🎥🎤
