Our story
A calm, practical companion — from a family that's walked it.
The Parent Tree began as the calm, practical resource Sharleen DaCosta wished she'd had. As a SEND parent, advocate, wellbeing practitioner and community leader, she noticed how many families were carrying so much — and how little space there was for their own wellbeing.
Connected with MCDWORKS CIC, The Parent Tree is a strengths-based, trauma-aware, non-clinical wellbeing ecosystem designed to sit alongside — never replace — the professional, legal or medical support families may already receive.
