Building Supportive Relationships and Social Networks
Core Component
Supportive relationships between parents/carers and their infants and children are fundamental to reducing harm to children aged 0 to 5 years of age. The relationship with the service provider and the family is important to achieve this aim. Supportive relationships also enable parents/carers to seek advice and respite from others when needed.
Flexible activities include:
The curriculum material of the program includes activities to support parents to build supportive relationships with their children, and interaction between parent and child is often a focus of the delivery sessions. The relationship with the service provider is often built through regular delivery sessions over a long-time frame.
