Utrecht introduces 'centering parenthood': group-oriented guidance for new parents
English · translation
From March 2026, new parents in Utrecht can come together in groups. These groups will start in the neighborhoods of Vleuten and Zuilen. Here, parents talk together about their experiences with a baby.
A youth nurse helps the group. Parents also give each other tips and support. This helps if you are new to Utrecht or know few people.
As a result, parents feel more confident about parenting. The Municipality of Utrecht wants to provide extra support to parents during the first months with their child.
