Service overview
Parents / caregivers have a huge impact on children's lives. Our services aim to support you in your role as a parent or carer. If you make positive changes, change will occur in your family.
Parents /caregivers can see our counsellors to discuss personal or family problems /challenges.
Counselling sessions, Parenting Groups and the Support Phone Line all offer an environment where there is the opportunity to discuss practical parenting strategies or generally review your parenting journey. Our Annual Parenting Event also brings a speaker who will offer information and support around commonly experienced parenting issues.
