LIFT: Building Family Resilience Workshop

The Building Family Resilience Workshop helps parents and carers strengthen relationships and improve communication, while ensuring children and adults feel safe, connected, and supported.

A group sits in front of a whiteboard as the speaker points to an idea, surrounded by icons for teamwork, communication, and planning.

What to expect:

  • members of our team will be there to welcome you when you arrive and will be happy to help if you are unsure where to go
  • a quiet space is available should you need a few moments away from the group
  • a relaxed, welcoming, and non-judgemental atmosphere
  • practical strategies that you can take away and use at home
  • opportunities to ask questions throughout the session
  • a chance to meet other parents and carers
  • tea, coffee, and refreshments will be provided, but please bring your own lunch

Here are just a few comments from parents who have attended previous workshops:

  • "I left feeling understood and less alone."

  • "The strategies were practical, realistic and easy to use at home."

  • "The facilitators were friendly, approachable and made everyone feel comfortable."

  • "I wish I'd attended sooner—it helped me understand my child so much better."
