For more than a decade, Mackay’s Child Youth and Family Health Service has offered Early Parent Groups to support families in those early stages of parenthood.
Early Parent Groups are facilitated by a child health nurse each Wednesday morning (9.30 to 11.30am) at Carlyle Community Health for new parents of babies aged 0-5 months.
Topics covered over four sessions include sleep and settling, adjustment to parenting, feeding, play and development. The groups also provide a space for families to share their experiences, concerns and triumphs, or to simply have a chat with other parents.
Additional benefits include building a support network, learning from each other, getting out of the house, making new friends, looking at different ways to parent and discovering community resources available in Mackay.
Next sessions:
Wednesday 12 December: Sleep
Wednesday 19 December: Infant development and behaviour
2024 Early Parent Groups will commence again in January.
If you would like to be part of the next group or an upcoming group, contact Carlyle Community Health centre on 4885 7750.
