Building Stronger Families

The Building Stronger Families program supports you to examine your relationship with the other parent. It provides you and the other parent with fresh ways of managing conflict and creates a new parenting arrangement that supports improved outcomes for your children.

Who is This For?

Building Stronger Families is recommended for the parents and carers of children in separated families if you:

• know that the conflict between you and the other parent is affecting your child(ren) and don’t know what to do about it
• you have been ordered or encouraged by a court to attend a post-separation parenting program
• you have been referred by your solicitor to attend a post-separation parenting program
  

You can attend on your own, or both parents can attend at different times so you don’t have to meet.

Benefits

Building Stronger Families will support you to:

• have greater insight into the skills needed to co-parent effectively
• be empowered to navigate disagreements with the other parent including voicing your needs respectfully
• have learnt skills to help manage difficult emotions and how to support your children to do the same
• learn how to build a healthy relationship with your child(ren) post-separation
• feel supported and connected through this life transition 

Learning Outcomes

During this program you will learn to:

• create a stronger bond between you and the other parent so your children are not disadvantaged
• focus on the needs of your child(ren) and teach ways to co-parent successfully
• set specific goals for the benefit of everyone involved
