Resources for parents: Aboriginal families (2011)

Description

This resource package contains a series of booklets to help Indigenous families, parents and carers with parenting tips and family information to help grow up strong healthy kids.

The booklets cover how families can help babies to grow up strong by spending time with them cuddling, playing, singing, reading, listening, telling stories and talking.

The Indigenous resources have been written in collaboration with different Aboriginal communities to ensure that they reflect the different Aboriginal languages in NSW and also include photos of Aboriginal families local to the regions.

The booklets also provide useful contacts for Aboriginal organisations in the local regions.

The booklets are available for the following regions in NSW:
