Gidget Virtual Village
Facebook peer support groups
Connect with an online village
These online groups are coordinated and moderated by GFA and are a private, safe space for new and expectant parents (with children up to school age) in Australia to share their lived experience and find connection, kindness and compassionate peer support. We have three different groups so you can connect with people who understand what you are feeling.
We offer three different Facebook peer support groups
The Facebook group is coordinated and moderated by Gidget Foundation Australia and is aimed at creating a safe space connecting expectant parents with the Foundation and with each other. The groups do not provide immediate or crisis support.

From our community
Part of the reason I love this group is that I can freely express how I feel and know that at least one other mamma is feeling the same way."
Emma
It’s great having a safe forum that I can ask what may seem like trivial blokey questions with zero judgement."
Andrew
It’s a relief to get others' views (without judgement) and know I’m not alone."
Danielle
A group for dads only is a really good idea. It takes away any awkwardness and allows dads to feel like they can share more freely."
Dave
Gidget Foundation Australia also offers free group treatment counselling programs.
