MEET THE TEAM

Help Me To Parent Ltd was launched in October 2007. The two founding directors, Martina Newe and Teresa Hart had attended a parenting course and were so impressed with the skills they learned, they passionately believed that every parent should have the opportunity to do a course such as this. Since establishing the company, the directors have reviewed and researched parenting courses and literature. During this time they discussed various aspects of parenting and parenting training with a number of professionals in the area of mental health and child/youth development.
Having reviewed a number of parenting courses, the directors concluded that the Parents Plus Programmes were not only the best in terms of content and presentation but also the most appropriate for parents in  Ireland today.
