We are passionate about working with children and young people. However, we understand the importance of engaging and working with parents and families to deliver effective and lasting change. By getting to know the parents and the context the children live in, we can understand their dynamics, needs, backgrounds and circumstances to better support them.
We believe offering parents a holistic approach and one-to-one support will empower them and give them tools to improve their situations for the best interest of the children. URBOND offers advice and support to parents regarding parenting styles, setting and maintaining boundaries, and how to improve communication with their young people and children. The topics addressed can vary depending on the specific needs of each family as we believe that a “one size approach” simply, does not work.
At URBOND, we know the value of family and will always do our best to support families as much as we possibly can. In some cases, we liaise with any other professionals around the family (such as Child Support), attend meetings and family conferences, offering immediate support and mediation to the families we work with where possible.
We feel it is essential to give parents a safe space where they can discuss their struggles and concerns, learn essential tools, and share their experiences and knowledge with other families. We also work with our partners to provide nutritious meals and weekly fresh food to families affected by hardship.
We host two parent meetings every month, offering a space for connection and collaboration. Interested in learning more about our family & parenting support? Reach out to us today atyouthdevelopment@urbond.orgwe would love to hear from you.
