The Mellow Parenting programme at ATWC is an invaluable opportunity for parents to enhance their parenting skills and capacity. Our 14-week group programme focuses on learning about child/infant development and the unique relationship with your child.
Together we will learn about different parenting techniques and explore how your experiences as a child may affect your own parenting. This programme is fully funded by Counties Manukau Health Board and child care is provided.
