Parenting Support

Parent and Child Relationship Duration: 1 Hour

Supporting Healing, Connection, and Safe Family Relationships After Domestic can significantly impact the relationship between a child and their non-abusive parent or caregiver.

Trauma, fear, stress, disrupted attachment, emotional overwhelm, and ongoing instability can affect communication, trust, confidence, and family connection long after the abuse has ended.

At Child and Youth Partnerships, we provide trauma-informed parent and child relationship support designed to help families rebuild emotional connection, strengthen attachment, increase understanding, and create safer, more positive shared experiences.

Our approach recognises that healing often happens through consistent support, meaningful connection, emotional safety, and opportunities for positive interaction ; not just crisis intervention alone.Sessions are tailored to the individual needs, ages, interests, and lived experiences of both the parent and child. We support families in rebuilding confidence, strengthening communication, and developing healthier patterns of interaction following trauma and adversity.Support may include:

• Guided parent-child activities
  
• Emotional wellbeing and relationship support
  
• Communication and connection-building activities
  
• Positive play and shared experiences
  
• Confidence-building for parents and caregivers
  
• Emotional regulation and coping strategies
  
• Creative, sensory, and wellbeing-based activities
  
• Strengthening routines, trust, and emotional safety
  

We believe that safe, positive, and consistent moments between children and caregivers can play an important role in supporting recovery, resilience, attachment, and long-term wellbeing.

Our services are inclusive, culturally aware, and welcoming to all families.

We support survivors and families of all backgrounds, identities, faiths, cultures, genders, and family structures.
