As a licensed course facilitator with Care for the Family I facilitate a range of courses for families and couples to help build strong relationships within the family.

 

These courses facilitate time for reflection upon family life to celebrate how amazing well you are doing, and explore new strategies to cope with the challenges that you may be facing. This will help you to stay connected and handle your differences with your child & partner.
