Raising the Children

The Raising the Children Program works with Aboriginal parents to ensure the happiness and well-being of their children.

We help by providing an open access manual for facilitators and teachers (name and link to manual) all of whom are welcome to be partners in our work of helping parents and children. Together we have been using this program and learning with and from parents since 1990.

We are a virtual meeting place where teachers, parents and facilitators can meet to learn from each other and to continue to develop our program and its approach.

The Raising the Children Program is dedicated to the late Lorraine Kenny (1955 - 2010) who was the developer and author or the program along with many colleagues, parents, communities and her family.
