Hey @CatMaman thanks for reaching out and it's great you're wanting to connect with other parents on here You are more than welcome to connect with others in the community so long as you maintain anonymity and adhere to our community guidelines.
We have found many of the parents and carers coming onto the community tend to post with a specific "issue" they're struggling with, looking for advice or referral. Hence the community member might mark their thread as "solved". Peer support between parents does seem to occur less frequently on here, but it is something we welcome and love to see.
Sadly, the community can be quiet at times on here so it may be worth also reaching out to other services as well (e.g., headspace's peer support chats).
I hope this helps and you're able to make some connections on here

Hi @Ciara
Welcome to the ReachOut Parents and Carers Community. I'm glad to see that you're keen on connecting with others here!
I wanted to let you know that we encourage all community members to remain anonymous for their safety as per our community guidelines.
I hope you're able to find the connection you seek here!
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
