Parenting Programs
Gateway's parenting programs offer a safe, non-judgemental, respectful and supportive environment where you are encouraged to share your thoughts and ideas, and to learn from other experiencing similar challenges. Participating in a parenting program is an effective way to gain the confidence, feel less isolated and help find new solutions to challenges that arise throughout your parenting journey.
Gateway's parenting programs are run by trained facilitators. Our facilitators provide information, create discussion, allow for self-reflection, goal setting and learning new skills. You will be given the opportunity to experience a positive, practical approach that builds on strengths within yourself and in your relationships.
