Welcome to the website of Parentline Manawatu!

Parentline Manawatu is an organisation committed to promoting healthy family relationships. We believe that parenting can be the toughest job in the world, but also the most fulfilling and rewarding. We learn to bring about change by changing ourselves. Changes parents make can effect powerful change within a family.

Parentline Manawatu is a Palmerston North based, not for profit community organisation.

We offer counselling, parenting programmes, and a parenting support phone line to parents and caregivers.
Each year Parentline fundraises by bringing parenting speakers to the Manawatu. A professional development workshop/seminar is usually offered in addition to a parenting evening.

We offer a Parent Support phone service which is answered 24 hours a day at

0800 4 FAMILY (0800 432 6459).

Calls to the phone line are connected to trained volunteers. They are great listeners and are dedicated to supporting parents to care for children.
