Parenting Programs

At Thrive, we believe that parenting programs are vital for fostering strong, healthy families and creating positive outcomes for children and their parents/carers. These programs empower parents/carers with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate the challenges of raising children in today’s complex world.

Thrive Services workers are trained facilitators and provide the following parenting programs free to parents and caregivers living in the Blue Mountains and Lithgow communities:

black box parenting

 

The Black Box Parenting Program is an innovative program developed specifically for the challenges after trauma. The program is a great, non–blaming way to get parents thinking about how they interact with their children and how to manage some of the challenges of parenting after experiencing family violence.

The focus of the group is about understanding how past experiences might affect how you get along as a family today. Participants will learn about their relational patterns and develop skills in emotion coaching and limit setting.

Pre-program Survey

The following questions help us understand how you are feeling before the parenting program starts, and whether the program has been helpful by the end. We use this information to improve our programs and understand if they are helping families feel more confident, supported and connected. When we can show that families are improving and benefiting, it helps us continue getting the funding needed to offer these supports long-term.

Please answer as honestly as you can. There are no right or wrong answers, and your responses will not affect your place in the program.

Parenting programs are essential because they equip parents and caregivers with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to raise healthy, resilient, and thriving children.

Parenting programs strengthen parenting skills by:

  • Teaching effective communication and problem-solving strategies.
  • Help parents/carers understand child development and age-appropriate behaviour
  • Foster positive relationships between parents/carers and children.
  • Support emotional, social, and cognitive development.
  • Provide tools to manage stress, conflict, and challenging behaviours.
  • Enhance family cohesion and improve relationships.
  • Foster resilience in families to manage future challenges.
  • Help break intergenerational patterns of poor parenting or trauma.
