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.
