Emotional Regulation and Communication – Insights and strategies to help you foster your child’s communication skills and support your child in navigating their emotions.
What Does Quality Early Intervention for Autism Look Like? – How do you evaluate different services and decide what supports are best for your child? This presentation will help you understand what kind of team/professionals can best support you and how to fund them.
Q & A Session – A chance to ask us your questions!
How much does it cost?
$53.46 per person. This small fee will help us cover the cost of running this workshop.
As a Not-for-Profit organisation, we are committed to equal access for all families. For this reason, we have intentionally kept the cost of this full-day program as low as possible. If relevant, you may want to use parent or carer capacity-building funds from your child’s NDIS plan to cover this cost.
Unlocking the mysteries of the teenage brain
Do you ever feel like your teen/pre-teen is from a completely different species?
The Family Services team at Yarra City Council in conjunction with Relationships Australia (Victoria) are pleased to offer you the opportunity to attend this information session for parents/ carers of children aged 10 and up.
Are you:
- -dealing with a teen who offers you nothing but grunts, shrugs, rolled eyes or silence?
- -feeling you’re constantly in a battle with your teen?
- -concerned that your teen is drawing away from you and the family?
- -struggling with how to support your teen with their worries, stress and anxiety?
- -wondering what’s ahead for your pre-teen as they prepare for high school in the coming years?
Join us as we unpack the big developmental changes that occur in the teenage brain.
This new understanding will shed light on the tricky behaviours you might experience in your home.
We’ll explore strategies to strengthen your relationship with your teen and support them as they navigate this important developmental stage.
