SUMMARY:Let’s talk about… Building relationships for a thriving family | for dads and male carers
DESCRIPTION:Let’s explore how to foster positive family outcomes through relationship health. \n\n\n\nOne 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. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWith 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. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhen 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. \n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\n\n\n\nCome along to discuss and explore: \n\n\n\n\nSimple ways to reflect on what’s important to you\n\n\n\nHow to build a shared vision for your relationship and family\n\n\n\nThe Relationship T.H.R.I.L.L.S. framework\n\n\n\n\nYou’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. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe ‘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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho can attend?Fathers and other male primary carers of children aged 0-12 years \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhenThursday 19 November 20268 pm to 9.30 pm (NSW\, ACT\, VIC and TAS) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhereOnline via Zoom.
