Nobody's Perfect Parenting Program

“There are no perfect parents or perfect children or perfect people. We can only do our best, and we all need help once in a while”.

Nobody’s Perfect is a preventive educational and support program for parents of children from birth to age five. It supports parents to enhance their knowledge, skills and self-confidence that are vital to healthy and effective parenting. It also encourages the development of a strong and supportive social network among participants.

Developed by Health Canada, Nobody's Perfect meets the needs of young, single, low-income, socially or geographically isolated parents or parents with limited formal education. Nobody's Perfect is a primary prevention program and is not intended for families where parenting relationships are in crisis. In 1990 the Saskatchewan Institute on Prevention of Handicaps became the coordinating agency in Saskatchewan.
