The consultancy runs a number of parent workshop series at various venues and locations around Victoria for single and couples who are parents.

This year, we are conducting a weekend workshop for parents.

Kathy Walker will be conducting the sessions. She is a highly experienced facilitator of parent workshops and conducts these throughout Australia. Check out her profile on the website.

 An intensive weekend workshop will provide parents with the opportunity to reflect, to think and share with others over a sustained period of time.  It also means that we can better accommodate parents who are often working or unable to attend evening sessions.

The aims of the weekend workshop include:

• Providing uninterrupted time to explore a range of issues related to effective parenting and how to nurturing yourself as a parent.
• Providing time to share with other parents the challenges and joys of parenting
• Providing opportunities for couples to attend together in order to consolidate and ensure consistency in parenting

Some of the Strategies and issues covered during the weekend include:

• Building a positive relationship with your children
• Beuiling self esteem and resilience in children
• Guidig and working with challenging behaviours of children
• Practical strategies to help with parenting skills
• Specific sessions on looking after yourself as a parent
• Plus individual issues and questions are also accommodated during the weekend.
