Child & Family Practitioner Training Roadshow - Brisbane

As Thriving Kids rolls out, building practitioner capability in evidence-informed parent education is essential. Child & Family Practitioner Training Roadshow - Brisbane Join child and family practitioners from across Australia for a series of evidence informed training workshops designed to help organisations support more families, improve parent engagement and respond to increasing service demand. Michael Hawton's 35 years in practice point to a parenting culture that's treating kids as fragile, over-pathologising normal struggle, and making unhelpful accommodations that leave children no more resilient. From October 2026, Thriving Kids begins rolling out across Australia. If you work with families under pressure, you know the gap between what parents need and what they're actually getting. This Roadshow closes that gap, giving practitioners in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane evidence-based tools you can use with your very next client. We want to help you equip parents as confident trainers and mentors who combine warmth with structure so kids build real resilience, through courses you can run with parent groups or one on one. These programs are ready to deliver, backed by research, and straightforward to facilitate.
