Hello from ParentZone!
ParentZone remains open and will be here to support you and the parents you work with. For information about local parenting events and services in your community see our Term 3 newsletter:
https://www.anglicarevic.org.au/about-us/newsletters/eastern-parentzone-term-3-2020/
ParentZone is a Regional Parenting Service, which works across the Eastern, Southern, Northern and Gippsland Region to promote the independence and healthy development of families with children aged 0-18 years through the provision of support, information, education, advice and resources to parents and professionals who work with them. Parents who require ongoing or intensive individual support are referred to family support services.
All parents can benefit from parent education and skills development, which can reinforce and expand on what parents already know about parenting. Whilst we cannot currently provide face to face support, we do have a parenting consultation line which you and your clients can contact on 9721 3646 or at parentzone.errd@anglicarevic.org.au for limited one on one parenting support, resources and information. We can also offer one on one consultation through video conferencing either on your laptop or smart phone! This service is Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm but is not always manned. Messages are normally returned within 1 business day.
Parenting groups in their face to face form have been postponed, however we are excited to share that we are offering online parenting groups and webinars. Term 3 parenting groups are fully booked. Please get in touch to be added to a waitlist for Term 4 parenting group.
