ERCRS support in running a range of facilitated meetings of local mothers and carers who have children or young people enrolled in our programs or live in the local area. These groups are focused on building individual resiliency and have become a safe space for local women to speak about issues of concern within their family and community.

Further to this, the Mother and Carer’s Groups provide practical skill workshops and activities for parents/carers with opportunities to share knowledge and practice whilst also encouraging the development of relationships and cultural sharing.

From these programs we have seen the development of additional programs and activities as the needs and priorities for the group and community evolves and changes. These programs have evolved in the past to be a variety of things from sewing groups, to digital literacy support programs to cooking and cultural sharing workshops.

These programs run at our Tarneit and Flemington Hubs.
