Overview

The Centre for Parenting is a multidisciplinary team which supports parenting programs in the Children, Youth and Women's Health Service, provides information and training on parenting and parent-child relationships, especially attachment and early relationships, produces resources for parents and professionals and runs some parenting groups about particular issues.  These groups include behaviour management groups and family of origin groups for parents who would like to resolve issues about their own childhood experiences.

The Centre produces a newsletter four times a year and, in conjunction with Parenting SA, runs parenting forums in the city and country. In September 2004 the Centre  convened a national parenting conference. A staff member is available every weekday to take calls from professionals in the community who work with parents. Direct referrals for parenting issues are not available at this time.
