Positive Parenting

Developed by the Australian Childhood Foundation, the renowned Bringing Up Great Kids program focuses on building positive and nurturing relationships between parents and their children. The free program aims to help parents to understand and communicate with their children, support children’s development, and build parent confidence. Our accredited Jewish Care trainers deliver Bringing Up Great Kids, including the adapted Bringing Up Great Kids After Family Violence and Bringing Up Great Kids in the First 1000 Days programs, with sensitivity and understanding of the particular needs of our community.

Our Raising Healthy Families sessions offer parents and carers in our community the opportunity to hear from expert speakers on a range of topics related to the health and wellbeing of children and young people.

Developed by the University of Melbourne, Tuning In To Kids is an evidence-based parenting program that helps parents and carers learn how to teach children skills to manage their emotions.

The program also provides an opportunity to connect with other parents in a warm and supportive environment. Facilitated by accredited Jewish Care trainers, the program is delivered with sensitivity for the needs of our community.
