Programs and Workshops for Parents
Becoming a parent is a time of transition and transformation. We recognise the significance of this transition, the dual role parenting creates, and the potential shift of priorities. Our programs vary from year to year, and are designed to support staff in successfully navigating common challenges, identifying practical strategies and build a network of colleagues who share similar experiences.
