Subsidised training program on offer to parents
A SIX-week parent training program is being offered to residents of the Douglas Shire at a much-reduced cost.
‘Circle of Security Parenting’ is an online, 90 minute, once a week course which is being subsidised by the Port Douglas Community Service Network Child and Parent Support Program.
Parents and carers of children up to 12 years of age are invited to get involved. The program will focus on strengthening parent-child relationships by guiding them through new ways to understand and respond to their children’s behaviour.
“Heavily subsidised, the Circle of Security Parenting Program supports both parents and carers in understanding and responding to their child’s emotional needs, helping to foster strong and trusting relationships that last a lifetime,” said Port Douglas Neighbourhood Centre child and parent support worker Erin Easton.
The training, facilitated by Manon van der Lee from FNQ Family Therapy, will assist in supporting a child’s ability to successfully manage emotions, develop self-esteem and ultimately help them feel secure.
The reduced cost is $50, with the first session starting at 9 am on Tuesday, May 13.
