The highly qualified team in our Family Foundations service supports parents and carers to build on their parenting knowledge, skills and experiences to strengthen family relationships and bonds during early childhood.

Our vision is for all infants, young children and families in the ACT to have positive parenting and early childhood experiences, as a foundation for future health, including social and emotional well-being.

This free service provides a supportive and non-judgmental environment for parents and caregivers to explore their concerns and difficulties, while building understanding and insights into their children’s needs. Family Foundations provides flexible support options to meet individual family needs, including face-to-face, video and phone sessions.
