Parenting Information Forums

Council’s Parenting Information Forum program provides valuable information and resources to parents, grandparents and carers of Whitehorse. 

Topics and guest speakers for the forums are carefully selected to reflect the diverse range of parenting approaches that individuals, communities and cultures within Whitehorse may hold.

The program achieves great outcomes for families, children and young people and reflects Council’s belief that effective parenting influences a child’s lifelong development and overall wellbeing. For more information on the forums, contact Council’s Parent Resource Officer on 0477 329 540 or parentresource@whitehorse.vic.gov.au
