Having a baby is a huge change to your life. There may be times you are feeling overwhelmed, but help is available.
Online support from your own home
Virtual Residential Parenting Service (VRPS) is a free online service for NSW families with 0–3 year old children who need extra support. The service runs over five days and four nights.
We can help you with:
- sleeping and settling
- feeding
- child development and behaviour
- your mental wellbeing.
What's involved
You will attend telehealth sessions from your home, with your child. We welcome partners and other carers to join the sessions.
You are connected to a team of health professionals, such as:
- child and family health nurses
- social workers, psychologists
- doctors.
VRPS is an online service. You will need:
- reliable internet
- your own device with a camera (computer, iPad/tablet, smart phone).
