Overview

“The best way we can help a new baby is to ensure that their parent’s needs are met and their trauma attended to” – Dr Bruce Perry (2020).

By working alongside new parents, we aim to facilitate recovery from problematic substance use and improve parenting capacity and confidence to positively impact on the outcomes for both parents and their new babies.
