Dundee LibDems offer support to "Just Ask" campaign

Dundee Liberal Democrats have signed up to the new "Just Ask" campaign by national charity Parentline Plus - in a bid to remove the stigma of seeking out parenting support. The campaign will be used to lobby government, people working with families, and parents to 'normalise' parent support.

The 'Just Ask' campaign aims to persuade and encourage parents to use services when they need an extra helping hand, not just when things have reached crisis level. Parentline Plus fears that below the surface millions of families are living with stressful situations. They keep their anxiety private and within the family because they are frightened of the consequences of asking for support.

Dundee LibDems have pointed out that Parentline Plus offers friendly support to help parents make informed choices on family matters and made clear their full support for the "Just Ask" campaign.
