All children are a 'work in progress'. Childhood experiences shape how the brain develops and a strong foundation in the early years is important.
HIPPY is an early childhood learning program in Launceston which offers a fun and educational experience for pre-schoolers and their parents.
KIDS has local volunteers in the North West who provide encouragement and support to parents of young children.
We also offer NESTS in the North West - a program to strengthen the attachment bond between parents and children aged 0-5 years.
Other services which can help include Options in Hobart which offers counselling and mediation for parents and young people aged 10-21.
Kids in Focus assists families affected by parental use of alcohol or other drugs.
We are also working with communities in the Launceston and East Tamar region to give children the best possible start and opportunities in life.
