Indigenous Parenting Service
Supporting our young parents

The Indigenous Parenting Service (IPS) supports parents and families to look after their children in a culturally safe environment while strengthening parenting in practice.
Participants of the IPS are supported in a safe place with other mothers to learn a range of cooking techniques to make healthy meals, join education workshop, go on bush trips and much more! We support mothers on how to look after their children and empower them to feel proud of being a strong mother.
The IPS includes:
-
parenting practices which integrate Yolŋu and western knowledge
-
healing and wellbeing
-
health and hygiene
-
cultural awareness program
-
camps to learn cultural knowledge and responsibilities within Gurruṯu (kinship system)
-
engaging with community stakeholders and services
-
courses for young mothers on literacy, numeracy and early childhood nutrition - provided by Bachelor College and Charles Darwin University.
