Gidget Virtual Village
Facebook peer support groups
Connect with your online village
Not just another Facebook group
Our Facebook groups are moderated by us, to ensure you're held in a private, safe and kind space where you can share lived experiences. We have three different groups for new and expectant parents in Australia. Connect with a community who may understand how 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.
How to join

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.
