Family Boost

Many of us who are parents think it would be great to have access to qualified people to help us with parenting issues from time to time.

You can register here or complete a registration form available at the Church office for this informative and inspiring afternoon we’ve planned to assist and empower you in one of your most important roles – parenting.

There are three electives to choose from

Elective 1 -  Protective Behaviours (90 minutes)
Presenter :  Ayla Walker

The Protective Behaviours Program is child-focused, and informed by a fundamental belief that children have a right to physical and psychological safety at all times , and that we as individuals, parents, communities and governments must play a part in protecting children of all ages and walks of life.

This session is an overview of the program and will introduce to you the concepts and strategies required to increase the safety of your child and to  protect them from a range of unsafe and risky situations that life may bring their way.
