As parents, you are the most important person in your child’s life.
Parenting WA offers an information, support and referral service to parents, carers, grandparents and families with children up to 18 years of age.
Parenting WA services are free and no referral is needed.
Many parents find life with a child a joyful but challenging experience. Children’s needs change as they grow and each stage brings new challenges.
Parenting WA’s trained staff are available to work with parents on:
· specific parenting needs and will help identify and develop strategies to successfully manage implementation in the home.
· managing the different challenges of parenting children from infancy and childhood through to teenage years
· understanding the different stages of child development
· information about local community support services.
Parenting coordinators, located throughout Western Australia, can provide individual parenting discussions, group sessions and workshops.
The Parenting WA home visiting service supports parents with children up to six years of age by helping them gain confidence in their parenting skills in their home. (Note: this service is not available in all regions)
Parenting WA also provides the Parenting WA Line, a 24/7 telephone information service, a library rich with useful resources, parenting guide sheets and an on-line guide to parenting courses in WA.
Parents can visit the Parenting WA Centre, 28 Alvan Street Mount Lawley, located just off Beaufort Street on bus route 21 or 67 from the city. Parenting consultants are available for advice, support and a coffee.
