The Peel Infant-Parent Program (PIPP) helps parents and guardians understand their young child’s needs, behaviour and development. You’ll learn new ways to connect with your child to develop a healthier relationship.
PIPP offers personalized support to help you understand your family’s unique strengths and needs so you can parent more confidently.
You may be eligible for PIPP if you have a child under 3 years of age and you’re:
- Feeling sad, worried, or alone.
- Finding it hard to know what your child needs.
- Dealing with stressful life events
The Peel Infant-Parent Program (PIPP) is a partnership between the Region of Peel, EarlyON Child and Family Centres, and EveryMind Mental Health Services. There are two parts to PIPP, where eligible families attend an in-centre program and are also supported by a child and family clinician who provides confidential online, or in-home sessions.
This free program is available for Peel residents at 3 EarlyON locations in Brampton and Mississauga.
If you are a parent or caregiver and would like to learn more about the program and the referral process, connect with the intake team or give them a call at 905-451-4655.
