This program was amazing!
We learnt about understanding our children - their needs and their challenges. Useful, practical information - the support was fantastic. I felt heard, listened to and valued in the group.

Parent and Family Groups | Meli
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be challenging. Our parent programs offer a welcoming, supportive space for parents and carers to connect, learn and grow alongside
others who understand the realities of family life.
Drawing on evidence-informed programs including Circle of Security, Tuning in to Kids, Dads Tuning in to Kids, Bringing Up Great Kids Parenting Adolescents and Tuning in to Teens,
our groups help parents build confidence, strengthen relationships and create positive change at home.
Through these programs, you'll gain practical strategies to:
Better understand your child's emotions, behaviours and needs
Strengthen connection, communication and trust within your family
Support your child's emotional wellbeing and resilience
Respond to challenges with greater confidence and calm
Reflect on what's working well and build on your family's strengths
Led by experienced and caring facilitators, our groups provide a safe, respectful and non-judgemental environment where every parent's experience is valued. Many participants tell us that
one of the most powerful aspects of attending is learning alongside other parents, sharing ideas, gaining new perspectives and discovering they're not alone in the challenges they face.
Whether you're parenting a young child or navigating the teenage years, these groups offer practical tools, meaningful insights and opportunities for connection that can have a lasting impact
on family relationships.

Testimonials
The group was a safe place
Our facilitators ensured the group setting a safe place to learn, explore, and share in discussions. We were all able to listen, feel heard and connect with each other.
Group and facilitators were fantastic
Such a safe space was created - the facilitators were very understanding about the different factors that render parts of parenting very difficult.
Affirming!
Just knowing that a lot of what I was doing was right to begin with was very reassuring.
Such a wealth of knowledge
Facilitators were knowledgeable, but importantly they listened carefully and were able to draw on the collective knowledge in the group to answer questions
I actually learnt practical skills
Having the right tools to be able to better handle situations as they arise. Recognising and positively responding to behaviours that I was not even aware of!
