‘Supporting families to raise happy, healthy children and adolescents.’

Young children learn the skills for sustaining life-long mental health and wellbeing through positive and responsive relationships with the significant people in their lives; parents and caregivers, extended family, school and social environments and peer groups.

We all want our children to be happy, to be able to form close, secure and satisfying relationships, and to have the capacity to explore and discover the environment and the world around them.
