Circle Of Security Program Term 3
Speech Pathology Tasmania warmly invites parents and carers to join Rosie Martin for the Circle Of Security Program. The term 3 program will take place on Tuesday evenings from August 2 to September 20. The course involves meeting in a small group online via zoom once a week for 8 sessions, at times when children are likely to be asleep.
This enriching program explores the development of connection, relationship and attachment – which are also the foundations for language and social skills development and good mental health for parents and children. The insights gained can benefit all relationships.
The zoom format is convenient for busy families. The video segments and handouts are helpful for visual learners. Numbers are limited to keep the group small.
Hosted by Rosie Martin, the program is rewarding and thought provoking. It helps us better understand ourselves and the children we care for, in a warm, caring and non-judgemental way.
The Foster and Kinship Carers Association of Tasmania will sponsor grandparents raising grandchildren, informal kin, and Foster & Kinship Carers to participate in the program. A group specifically for foster carers will be also running in term 3 on Wednesdays at 10:30 am-12:30 pm from Aug 3 to Sept 21.
More details can be found on our website www.spt.com.au, by phoning 62345717 or emailing programs@spt.com.au.

Fostering Hope Mentoring Program
Fostering Hope is a community organisation whose work comes from the Bible and the teachings of Jesus to ‘visit’ and ‘care for’ orphans and widows, to put the lonely in families, to love the fatherless, to care for children, and to love the neighbours in the communities. Through our Mentoring Program, we seek to provide a “friend with purpose” for kids in care. If you are looking for a way to live out your faith in caring for those in need, you can make a difference for a child in care. We would love to talk with you about how we can equip you with training, connect you with a child and provide you with ongoing support as you mentor. With just a few hours a month, you can significantly impact the life of a child in care for the better.
We have our next training day on Saturday, October 1.
Find out more or apply @ https://www.fosteringhope.community/mentoring, or reach out to Ellie (ellie@fosteringhope.community).

Online program to help families of children with eczema
Every day, thousands of Australian children suffer the effects of eczema, and families struggle with managing eczema and children’s behavioural and emotional adjustment.

This innovative online program is designed to help parents manage their child’s eczema more easily, help children cope with their eczema and emotions, prevent and manage difficult child behaviour, and reduce the impact of eczema on families.
Over the next few months, parents of 2-10 year old children with eczema are able to access Healthy Living Triple P free of charge as part of a research project through the Queensland Children’s Hospital, Griffith University, and the University of Queensland.
