Practical guidance for confident, connected parenting
Our free Parenting Support Program is open to every parent, grandparent and carer raising children aged 0–12 in the Taree, Forster and Gloucester communities. Through evidence-based workshops and personalised support, we give you the skills, strategies and encouragement to navigate the highs and lows of family life—so you can help your children thrive.
Why Parenting Support Program Helps
Parenting can be equal parts joy and overwhelm. Our program delivers practical, research-backed tools that cut through daily stress, strengthen parent–child bonds, and connect you with a local network of supportive carers. By understanding what drives your child’s behaviour and learning calm, confident responses, you create a more secure, harmonious home where everyone can thrive.
Programs for the Mid North Coast
Covering Taree, Forster, Gloucester and neighbouring towns, our programs bring expert parenting guidance to the heart of the Mid-North Coast. Through local venues, schools and community hubs, we deliver free workshops and one-to-one support that strengthen family bonds, build resilience and create safer, happier homes for children aged 0–12.
