Calling all Dads...
Thank you to those who completed the survey on our inaugural Dads retreat; it has assisted in planning our first retreat and look forward to you joining us.
As previously mentioned we have received funding from the Department of Health (Maternal and Child Health) which we are using to hold a Dads retreat.
As we know the role of Dad is immensely impactful, influencing a child's development and wellbeing from infancy through to adulthood. Recognising that new fathers can sometimes feel daunted by the responsibilities of parenthood, our goal is to create spaces where dads can openly discuss challenges, share their journeys, and foster meaningful connections and support networks.
The weekend retreat aims to support and celebrate the resilience of parents and enable you the opportunity to reflect through shared learning and networking. Dads will come together for relaxed training sessions as well as focus on self-care to enhance feelings of health and wellbeing.

Permanent care, kinship care and adoptive families are an often hidden and under-supported group. They care for some of the most vulnerable children in our community. We often hear from parents and carers that raising children from permanent care, kinship care and adoption backgrounds is rewarding, but that many families also experience a range of challenges. Families deserve to have their voices heard by those who make decisions on behalf of children.
Donations enable PCA Families to deliver high quality programs and advocate with and for children and families. PCA Families also supports parents and carers to become self-advocates. You can get involved by:
