QFCC, along with Parentline have created a suite of resources to help Queensland parents on their parenting journey. You'll hear from a range of parents about their parenting journey, as well as hearing from the experts at Parentline about how you can overcome the everyday challenges of parenting. QFCC would like to acknowledge all the parents who shared their stories and fronted the camera, as well as Parentline who coordinated the development of the webinars.
Parentline has produced a suite of webinars to help address your parenting needs and questions. Topics include supporting diverse families, cybersafety, supporting school transitions and addressing the age old question 'am I a good enough parent?'. If any of the topics discussed raise any concerns, visit www.qfcc.qld.gov.au/assistance to see what support services are available to you.
