Let’s explore how to foster positive family outcomes
through relationship health.

One of the most important is the relationship with the people we share family life with, whether that’s a partner, co-parent or other important people in our family. Like anything important, it can need a little time and attention to stay strong.

With the busyness of daily life, it’s easy for connection to slip into the background. This session offers a chance to pause, reflect and reconnect with what matters most to you and your family relationships.

When parents feel supported and connected, it can have a positive flow-on for the whole family. Communication plays a big part in this, along with understanding what helps you feel close, heard and on the same page.

This workshop offers practical ideas and a positive space to reflect, refresh and strengthen your connection as you move towards your shared hopes for your family.

Come along to discuss and explore:

  • Simple ways to reflect on what’s important to you
  • How to build a shared vision for your relationship and family
  • The Relationship T.H.R.I.L.L.S. framework

You’re welcome to join in as much or as little as feels right for you. There is no expectation to share personal experiences with the group.

The ‘Let’s talk about…’ sessions are designed by families for families to discuss various topics and learn together. They are facilitated by trained parent-peer workers raising a child with developmental delay or disability.
