Parenting Programs

Black Box Parenting is a non-blaming program developed specifically for the challenges of parenting after violence.
Trauma has an incredibly damaging effect on a young, developing brain. Trauma and violence significantly impact attachment and a child’s sense of security. This can directly influence a child’s behaviour. The program helps parents manage their feelings, and trains them to help their child navigate and regulate their emotions. Includes strategies for play to enable a child to give voice to their emotions. Especially helpful for foster carers.

This is an integrated suite of activities and tools that are unique and offer all parents and carers a fresh way to understand and enact relationships with their children. It supports the development of mindful and positive relationships between parents/carers and children. The program aims to support parents to review and enhance their patterns of communication with their children, to promote more respectful interactions and encourage the development of children’s positive self-identity.
