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”.

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 support and education program for parents of children from birth to age five. Developed by Health Canada in the 1980s, Nobody’s Perfect is a free program that supports parents to enhance their knowledge, skills, self-confidence, and support systems. The program has proven to be successful across Canada and internationally. In Saskatchewan, the Nobody’s Perfect Program is coordinated through the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute and is offered in many communities across the province.

Below is a video that provides a description of the Nobody’s Perfect Parenting Program and various perspectives from facilitators and parents who have attended the program.
