Parenting support is a one-to-one appointment, in which a parent can receive individual guidance and support through the understanding that parents are their child’s enduring and most influential teacher. The Deli recognises that families have multiple forms of parenting and tailor an approach alongside the parent to address/discuss: 

  • Working to provide a safe environment for children and maintain strong connected relationships. 
  • Increasing parental confidence, capacity, awareness of trauma, child developmental knowledge and positive guidance skills. 
  • The facilitation of social and community networks to reduce isolation for parents. 
  • Applying a strengths-based approach which affirms a parent’s abilities and goals which are promoted to achieve positive outcomes for children.
