About Our Workshops

Showing Up for Your Kids Workshop Series for Mums and Dads

Showing up for your Kids workshop series runs for 4 sessions over a period of 4 weeks. Each session is 3 hours and are run both online and in-person, and during the day and in the evening (dependent on the date of the workshops). This workshop is specifically for parent’s navigating the child protection system and whose children are subject of short-term orders.

There are separate workshops for mum’s and dad’s, and Reily are working towards running the workshop for couples in the near future.The sessions cover the following topics:

– Understanding child protection processes, both in relation to DCP and Legal processes

– Managing emotions and behaviours

– Self-care

– Focusing on your strengths

– Self-advocacy

– Understanding your children’s needs

– Making family time (access / contact) a positive experience

– Putting your best foot forward in relation to working with DCP staff and other professionals

– Building your village around you

– Maintaining hope and being solution focused

– Taking a holistic view of your life

Be Present for Life Workshop series

When children feel loved, valued, and supported by their parents, they develop a sense of trust and confidence in themselves and the world around them. This emotional security helps them manage stress, build resilience, and form their own healthy relationships later in life.

The Be Present for Life workshop is a FREE workshop offering research-based intensive strategies tailored for parents with children on 18-year orders.

This workshop empowers parents to cultivate a nurturing and loving environment that promotes a healthy attachment with their child. By providing valuable insights and practical strategies, the program focuses on strengthening the parent-child relationship, enhancing emotional security, and improving a child’s overall well-being.
