Beginning The Digital Journey

Recently I met with Parentline ACT, a free confidential telephone service for parents and families in the ACT and surrounding area.

Parentline staff are professionally trained to help families and carers with factual, friendly information and support.
We were discussing how not for profits can use social media alongside existing communications cchannels to reach partner organisations and the public.

Good luck to the Parentline team as they continue their digital journey.
