Parenting is perfectly imperfect.

 

Have you heard that incredible quote by Gemma Douglas?

 

‘I try so hard to be the gentle parent. But I’m not all the time. Because sometimes I’m the impatient parent, the reactive parent, and the struggling parent. Sometimes I’m the anxious parent, the exhausted parent, and the overwhelmed parent. But I’m also the committed parent, the loving parent, and the forever-trying parent.’

 

If you’re the forever-trying parent (like me), then keep reading.

​

I want parents to think of this like having a psychologist on speed dial. So many people cannot afford to see a psychologist ongoing, or simply cannot get into one due to waitlists. While this new resource isn’t there to replace ongoing and individualised psychological therapy, it is there to support and guide families towards resources and services that they may require, while also helping them solve tricky problems they may be having.

 

Whether you’re a parent who has a question you want to ask but don’t know where to turn, or a parent who wants ongoing support online in a safe and secure environment.

 

Or maybe you’re a parent wanting access to ongoing resources from allied health professionals.

 

Or even a parent who is sick and tired of seeing perfect instagram parenting and want to know they aren’t alone in their daily struggles.

 

Maybe, just maybe, you’re the parent who is sick and tired of doom-scrolling the internet and googling things going on for your child only to be met with an evidence-lacking, completely unexpected, potentially life threatening google diagnosis. 

 

THIS is where the Family Forum comes in.

 

A place where we can all put our heads together and support one another, with children up to the age of 18 years. 

 

The support of a child & adolescent clinical psychologist in your pocket. 

​

Together with the video library, the Family Forum aims to support families from all areas of child development…taking a truly holistic approach.

 

In the video library, you’ll find videos with speech therapists, OT’s, sleep consultants, nutritionists, naturopaths, other psychologists, teachers, early childhood educators and even paediatricians and more.

 

 My goal for the video library is to help parents understand different areas of development and what resources/services may be available for them. That way you can make an informed decision about whether or not they truly need these services, before forking out thousands of dollars trying to get answers for your children.
