It takes a village to raise a child: our community will be a healthy safe and happy village where self-respecting individuals have respect for others, where people care for their own families as well as their fellow members, and adults take responsibility for their own children as well as all the children of the village.

Parenting Program

The Parenting Program includes helping parents understand their responsibilities, providing parents access to wider support networks and ensuring strong functional families are restored as the foundation of a healthy society.

As an approved purchaser under the "Funder-Purchaser-Provider" framework, Cape York Partnerships is responsible for funding local service providers for the delivery of enhanced parenting services and capability within the four welfare reform communities.

These parenting services include awareness raising, intensive support and individual and group activities designed to support parenting skills.

Objectives

  • Parents understand their responsibilities and are provided opportunities and support to develop their parenting skills
  • Parents have access to wider support networks
  • Strong functional families are restored as the foundation of a healthy society
  • Explore ways to increase biological parents taking responsibility for their children

This project is designed, developed and delivered by Cape York Partnerships in partnership with Cape York Institute.
