Great ideas that we’re working on:
A rating system of local community programs, clinics, hospitals and practitioners (with the ability to leave comments and or testimonials).We believe that transparency in health services is essential to improving them.
An online discussion forum designed to be a safe place for parents to discuss family life, health, products, or really…whatever they’d like.
An ‘Ask Our Expert’ Panel where parents can post questions to a variety of experts from many different fields (for example: labour support, childbirth education, maternity care, birth, pediatrics, breastfeeding, vaccinations, nutrition, alternative and complementary medicine, domestic violence prevention, autism awareness, the multi-cultural family)
Local advocacy and activist opportunities to improve the quality of life for our community.
