We are an early intervention and prevention program operates across Melbourne’s outer West in Melton, Melton South and West, Wyndham Vale, Werribee, Laverton and Hoppers Crossing (North and South).

We provide Individual Parenting Support sessions to parents who have reached out and requested ‘in-home’ support in order to improve their parenting capacity, family routines, interactions and parent/child relationships. We also have capacity to deliver our programs and assist parents online for individualised support where and when needed. We have desks in Melton and Werribee and run programs out of community centres, cafés, Bunnings, parks and gardens as well as meeting parents/carers in their homes, cafés or the local library.

We deliver workshops like – Kids Chat, Tech Savvy, Emotion Coaching, Take a Break, Let’s Eat, Routine Ready, Emotion Coaching, Take a Break and Transition to Fatherhood.

Our team also delivers programs like Tuning into Kids series, Bringing Up Great Kids series and 123 Magic and Emotion Coaching.
