The Healthy Mothers Healthy Families program supports, empowers and encourages mothers of a child with disability to learn about, and create a healthy lifestyle that fosters their own health and well-being, alongside a healthy, happy family life.

The workshops provide mothers with information, research findings and the shared wisdom of other mothers, to better support mothers to meet their important daily responsibilities caring for their child with disability and family, whilst also caring for themselves.

Reframing Disability has partnered with A/Prof Helen Bourke-Taylor from Monash University to run FREE online Healthy Mothers Healthy Families workshops. Come and learn how to create a healthy lifestyle that fosters your own health and wellbeing alongside a happy and healthy family life.

The online workshops will cover:

services and supports.
