The Parent Resource Centre (PRC) collaborates with parents to build confident, resilient families in Ottawa. We provide engaging and accessible programs for children, youth, parents and
caregivers in a variety of formats.
One of our most popular services is our Parent Support Line. It is free, confidential, and provides an opportunity for parents to talk about a variety of concerns related to parenting, family
dynamics, child development and child behavior. We provide emotional support, counselling, and advice about everyday challenges and offer resources and strategies to overcome those
challenges.
Call us Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Parenting in Ottawa is where parents go to get in the know. Speak with a public health nurse online, over the phone, or in-person.
Ottawa Public Health, and its community partners, offer these free services to make it easier for children to grow up healthy.

The OCPS wants parents to feel supported in being the best parents they can be! We recognize that all parents have questions about different areas of parenting, and we want to encourage our member organizations open up the channels of discussion around child health, parenting best practices, workshops, events, etc.
We have designed the "Just Ask" poster template to create common messaging in this endeavour across the city. Organizations are encouraged to use our modifiable poster template to input important information they think parents visiting their centres need to know!
To request the template for your agency please email us at info@growingupgreat.ca.
