Contribute to the mission of
The Parent Phone
We want as many parents as possible to know that De Oudertelefoon exists, and that we are there for them when things get too much at home. That all parents and educators in the Netherlands know that they can call and chat with us when they have a question, a concern, a problem or just want to tell their story. You can help us to support as many parents as possible!
Just say it campaign
To break the taboo on asking for help, difficulties, annoyances, frustrations, fears and insecurities about parenting, we started the campaign 'Just say it'. We want to encourage all parents and educators to share what really lives in them. The great pleasures, successes and satisfactions of parenting, but also the more difficult sides and the feelings that come with it. By using real quotes from parents, we want to show that it's perfectly normal that sometimes it can feel like it's getting too much at home, and that you're not alone in this feeling.
We want to reach as many parents as possible in the Netherlands with this campaign, and we would like to ask for your help! What can you do to contribute to the mission of De Oudertelefoon? You read it below.

We have also made posters that you can print yourself and hang in places where you think a lot of parents come. You can download our posters as a PDF file and print them in A4, A3 and A2 format. We have five different posters, click on the title to download them:backpack,Annoyance, other mothers, Debt andGive up everything. The choice of where to hang them is up to you!
