  • The Willow Group

    Recovery after family violence

    The Willow Group is an 8-week online therapeutic group for women who have experienced family violence and are ready for supported recovery and rebuilding.

    A trauma-informed understanding of family violence

    Nervous system and emotional regulation tools

    Support with shame, triggers, and self-care

    Increased confidence, resilience, and connection

  • Lunch & Learn

    Raising Children Who Trust Themselves

    14th July, 2026

    12PM – 1PM AEDT

    Teaching Children to Trust Themselves

    Building an internal compass for safety, boundaries and self-advocacy

    As adults, we can't always be there to protect the children we love.

    Our hope is that one day they'll recognise when something doesn't feel right, trust that feeling, and know what to do next.

    In this practical Lunch & Learn, we'll explore how interoception, our ability to notice and understand the body's internal signals, forms the foundation for emotional regulation, healthy boundaries, self-advocacy and personal safety.

    You'll learn why helping children tune into their bodies is one of the most powerful protective factors we can offer them, particularly for neurodivergent and highly sensitive children.

    You'll walk away with:

    • A clear understanding of what interoception is and why it matters.
    • Practical strategies to help children recognise and understand their body signals.
    • Tools to strengthen emotional regulation through body awareness.
    • Ways to foster healthy boundaries, self-advocacy and confidence.
    • Everyday activities that help children recognise when something doesn't feel right and respond safely.
    • Practical ideas you can use immediately at home, in the classroom or in the therapy room.

    Perfect for parents, teachers, educators, psychologists, counsellors, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, social workers, support workers and anyone supporting children.

    The safest children aren't simply the ones with adults watching over them.

    They're the ones who have learned to recognise, trust and respond to their own inner signals.

    A recording will be sent to all registered participants.

    Parenting with PACE
    TUES 16th JUNE 2026 | 12 - 1 PM AEST

    PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy) is a powerful framework for building connection, especially with children who struggle with emotional regulation, trauma, or challenging behaviour.

    In this 60-minute online workshop, we’ll explore how to embody the principles of PACE in everyday parenting - not as a script, but as a way of being with your child that fosters safety, trust, and emotional growth. Learn how to stay connected in hard moments, shift from control to collaboration, and respond in ways that promote secure attachment.

    You’ll gain simple, effective tools to approach your child with more confidence, compassion, and calm.

    A recording will be sent to all registered participants.
