Families
Programs for parents and caregivers across Melbourne, from the first weeks with a new baby to the teenage years. Practical, warm and grounded in your family's values.
Knowing where your child is developmentally helps you offer age-appropriate guidance: when to step in, when to step back, and how to let them make mistakes while being there to help them learn from those experiences.
You'll build practical strategies for teaching life skills that suit your child's stage of development. We explore common parenting challenges, positive and constructive ways to engage with your child, and how to look after your own wellbeing so you can be a strong, supportive role model.
The program also encourages you to build a village of support, drawing on community, culture, shared values and different perspectives to help your child understand identity and resilience, and to meet life's challenges with confidence.
What we explore
- Age-appropriate guidance
- Teaching life skills
- Common parenting challenges
- Looking after your own wellbeing
- Building your village of support

The saying “the apple doesn't fall far from the tree” reminds us that a child's wellbeing is closely linked to their parent's emotional and mental health. This program shifts the focus from the child to the parent, with an emphasis on self-awareness, self-care and emotional regulation.
You'll learn to nurture your own emotional health, practise self-acceptance and process your feelings in a way that models emotional intelligence for your child. We explore attachment, developmental stages and age-appropriate emotional support.
Conscious parenting is rooted in strong core values, a growth mindset and the ability to embrace both the beauty and the messiness of parenting. Challenges become chances for connection, learning and growth, for you and your child.
What we explore
- Self-awareness and self-care
