Updated exciting news!
Parents on a Mission has just had a zoom meeting with Mary Kay (from the DGs office) and some CSOs from the Redcliffe and Caloundra service centres, about working with some parents at each service centre Leanne's Gift! How fantastic! Leannes Gift is finally on its way into the hands of parents 😊

It's almost time for Child Protection Week and, as the CEO of Parents on a Mission, I'm doing my bit to keep the conversation alive, about how we can all work together to improve outcomes for families involved in the Child Protection system.
What am I doing?
Over the next week, Parents on a Mission will be meeting with stakeholders, as well as members of POAM, to discuss our collective experiences and collect much needed feedback to bring the voices of lived experience of Parents on a Mission members to the Government and community organisations.
We are working together - parents, carers and workers, all to create better outcomes for families

Parents on a Mission are proud to announce that a trial is underway of Leanne's Gift! Eight service centres will be part of this Queensland first trial. How exciting!
Parents on a Mission are proud to be working in collaboration with Parentline, we will be uploading a video soon to this website! It's important that Parents know where they can go for help and support. Even if your children are in out of home care you can still access the services at Parentline. Stay tuned for the next update. I'll tell you when and where you can view the webinar.
Parents on a Mission are working on an exciting project with Brisbane South PHN (see photo in gallery) this will ensure better health outcomes for children in out of home care. If you are a Parent of kids in care and you would like to be involved, please contact me at: parentsonamission@outlook.com

On the 13/6/19, 2 information packs for Parents - Leanne's Gift - were given to the Family Inclusion Network, to give to Parents who are clients of the Department of Child Safety. These packs have been generously donated by members of the public. A big thankyou goes out to all of those who support Parents on a Mission to continue my work. 😊

On the 28/5/19, I attended the Relationships Australias launch of their Diversity and Inclusion Statement. This is an important piece of work that I have been personally involved in. I was a participant in the RAQs Access and Inclusion Community Collaboration Group. This group helped provide feedback from people of diverse backgrounds on access and inclusion. This feedback was then used to develop a framework of access and inclusion throughout Relationships Australia. I am very proud to have been a part of something that will create positive change for many people.
