Parent Support Sessions

Parent Webinar

On Wednesday 9 September, as part of National eSmart Week, the Alannah & Madeline Foundation is presenting a free webinar for parents and carers by renowned child psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, on building family resilience during coronavirus (COVID-19). Dr Carr-Gregg’s webinar is aptly named Managing the Coronacoaster – tips for building resilient families in the coronavirus era.

The first wave of the coronavirus turned our lives upside down and forced us to navigate a new and unwanted reality of remote learning, working from home and financial hardship. The second wave has elicited even more anxiety, disruption and disappointment in both young people and families. 

This webinar seeks to give participants the skills, knowledge and strategies to manage family wellbeing and build resilience.
