I-CEPS Parent Day
Parent Day is an innovative online parenting event, taking place on 7 June 2025, providing parents and carers with cutting-edge research from the world’s leading universities and institutions.
Evidence shows that well-informed parenting is one of the most powerful influences on a child’s success and happiness, and this day is dedicated to making that knowledge accessible to parents everywhere.
Parent Day is not a typical online forum—this inaugural event is focused not just on parenting itself, but on the overall well-being of parents, carers, and children, and informed by the latest scientific research. It provides a chance for parents to engage with experts who understand real parenting challenges.
We are committed to making Parent Day accessible, inclusive, and relevant to all. Our program is carefully designed to reflect the diverse experiences and needs of families from all walks of life. Through our “My Say” survey, we also hope to collect the views and experiences of parents and carers, shaping future studies and programs.
