Parenting after trauma can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Written by the Director of The Peregrine Centre, Dr Rebecca Sng, the Black Box Parenting Program is designed specifically for parents and carers who have experienced trauma and hardship or family violence. Each participant receives individualised support to help their child heal while working through their own recovery.
