This grant will enable us to run parenting groups for local CALD families whose first language is not English, helping them to learn parenting skills to manage typical, but challenging behaviours in children aged under two. This culturally-appropriate program provides families access to essential support that they would not otherwise be able to gain from standard parenting programs.
