We provide tailored services to support eldest daughters through their journey of self-discovery and healing.
Our programmes are designed to help them grow and develop — moving from simply surviving to truly thriving. To keep up to date with our events, follow our eventbrite page, for monthly events updates.
1:1 Rant Sessions
Being the eldest daughter comes with a lot of feelings that we may not necessarily know how to unpack. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, express ourselves and be heard.
These ranting sessions are a space to speak one-on-one with fellow a eldest daughter, free of judgement, to express your feelings, get general advice, or have someone to have a conversation with.
If you need more than 30mins, please book more than one slot.
In Person Events
Our in-person events are designed to give eldest and parentified daughters a much-needed break from their everyday responsibilities — even if just for a few hours. These gatherings create space for connection, creativity, and joy through activities like painting, knitting, fencing, and running.
Each event offers a chance to rest, recharge, and build community with other eldest daughters who understand the weight of always having to “hold it all together.”
Whether it’s through movement, art, or laughter, our events are gentle reminders that you deserve time for yourself too.
Monthly Support Group
This is a peer support group session for the eldest daughters, by eldest daughter. It is a space where we can come together and support one another online, a space free from judgement and shame.
A space with people who just get it, no questions asked. Each month, we will come together and talk about anything related to the eldest daughter role, from setting boundaries, tips on how to say no, moving out, make friends, or just catch up on life.
Our monthly support group sessions take place on the last Friday of each month and are open to all eldest daughters.
Eldest Daughter Day, August 26th
Launched in 2023, Eldest Daughter Day is an international day of recognition and appreciation for eldest daughters—the often-unsung heroes of their families and communities.
Created in collaboration between Home Girls Unite and Eldest Daughter Club, this day shines a spotlight on the emotional labour, responsibility, and care eldest daughters give, often without being asked or acknowledged.
For one day, we ask the world to prioritise the needs of eldest daughters—because in most families, they’re expected to prioritise everyone else, even when they can’t or shouldn’t have to.
Eldest Daughter Day is a reminder that you are allowed to put yourself first. We encourage eldest daughters to celebrate by doing something just for themselves, guilt-free—especially that one thing they’ve been putting off all year. And we encourage everyone else to honour and celebrate the eldest daughters in their lives.
