Lived experience peer support –
support from someone who understands
Peer Support connects parents with trained workers who have lived experience of navigating the child protection system.
We provide practical, respectful and non-judgemental support to help parents feel less alone, understand what is happening, prepare for key steps, and stay focused on their goals for their children.
WHAT IT COVERS
Peer Support is a free support service delivered by The Reily Foundation for parents involved with, or at risk of involvement with, the child protection system in South Australia.
Our Peer Support Workers understand how overwhelming the system can feel. They walk alongside parents, helping them make sense of information, prepare for meetings, build confidence, and connect with the right support
