Tricky Talks - Parent Sessions

We are pleased to offer Interrelate’s Tricky Talks, an engaging and informative program designed to support families in navigating important conversations around puberty, relationships, and growing up. These sessions provide age-appropriate, respectful, and inclusive information to help children and their parents/carers feel confident and prepared for life’s changes. Delivered by experienced facilitators, Tricky Talks aim to strengthen communication within families and empower young people with the knowledge they need.

 

This is an optional activity and the cost is $25.00 per family. Families can choose to attend either session or both, with their child/children. Payment is required by Monday 25th August
