Être parent, un Je d’enfant (EPJE) is an association based in Montauban, France, dedicated to supporting parents and helping them navigate family life. Guided by the belief that people become parents over time, the organisation offers individual and group support led by professionals, including health professionals. Its approach is to care for parents as part of caring for children, and to encourage early support and prevention.

EPJE provides telephone support, welcomes families at its Maison de la parentalité, and organises group activities and discussion spaces where parents can share experiences and reflect together. Its work covers topics such as welcoming a child, parent-child relationships, health and disability, schooling, bereavement, and separation. Activities and events also address practical family concerns, including infant feeding, adolescence, and daily life with a child with a disability.

The association also works with organisations and community groups, which can request professionally facilitated parenting cafés tailored to their needs.
