Program Outline

Program Outline

This comprehensive, four-session program —created by Focus on the Family, a worldwide leader in strengthening family relationships — teaches parenting practices to new parents and those caring for small children.

Starting Points is:
  • A parenting program based on what is already good and positive in family life and on your strengths as parents. It is not a problem solving program, although we understand that family life may also be less than ideal and have its fair share of problems
  •  Preventative: with a focus on preventing family and behavioural problems
  • Relationship enhancing: It looks at your child’s world and the various people in it. It supports and encourages these relationships.
  • Evidence based: it is built on key understandings and findings supported by research. A team of experts supports this information  
  • Uses our facilitator delivery model: a peer to peer approach where people with a passion for parenting train to deliver the program to parents just like you 
  • A community program: delivered in your setting
