This community driven initiative provides a welcoming space where mothers can connect, share experiences, and engage in discussions that cater to their unique needs.

Each session is shaped by the collective input of the mothers and the Early Help team, ensuring that topics and themes reflect what matters most to the group. These interactive sessions promote positive relationships within families and the wider community, fostering both personal growth and stronger family connections. The group actively encourages participation from both mothers and their children, creating a nurturing environment that supports the well-being of all. Since its inception, the group has expanded from two families to six, and we invite other mothers in the Pakenham area to join us.
