Parent Education & Engagement
Real conversations. Practical strategies. Support that makes sense.
Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world. None of us have been given a guidebook and let’s face it, all our kids are different. What works beautifully for one child can completely backfire with another. Between work, school, and the endless juggle of family life, it’s easy to feel like you’re running on empty and wondering if you’re getting it right.
That’s where our Parent Education sessions come in. These sessions offer practical, evidence-based tools to help parents navigate the ups and downs of family life with more calm, confidence, and connection. Each session combines real-life parenting experience with professional expertise in social work, positive psychology, mindfulness, and behaviour support; all delivered with warmth, humour, and genuine understanding.
Whether run online or face to face through your school or community group, these sessions provide a supportive, down-to-earth space for parents to learn, share, and grow together.

“‘After completing some activities for her book, the Greatfulness Guide, our students were really excited to hear from Jacqui. In our online session, Jacqui shared some of the big issues young people face and she presented some key and relevant strategies to help them manage these. Jacqui provided interactive opportunities for our students to engage in the session and they walked away with some key takeaways that they can implement in their lives’.
Renee Garing (teacher), Geelong Christian College.
‘Thank you so much Jacqui for caring so much about our children’s wellbeing and being so proactive in assisting us with awareness and tools to implement at home. Very much appreciated.’
