Parent Support Network

'Supporting Homes, Supporting Schools'

Welcome to the Online Guardians; Parent Support Network.  We have developed an interactive and engaging space for parents to visit and access a wide range of assistance from experts who have been working with families and young people for over two decades.

Our Parent Support Network is focused on providing early and effective guidance and assistance to parents and carers in the digital world.  As our children are obtaining access to digital devices earlier, we are witnessing the influence and culture of this world impacting their young minds. The need for rules, boundaries, expectations and consequence are incredibly important. The earlier we initiate this, the more beneficial the results.  We have a wealth of experience working with young people in both the digital and physical world.  We are concerned about the recent data and spike relating to addictions, wellbeing and mental health for our children.  Our Parent Support Network is designed to provide early intervention strategies and assistance to parents and carers that may need a helping hand in this challenging landscape.
