While they may not expect or plan for pregnancy, young mothers and fathers can now be supported through the informative learning experiences at the heart of Berry Street’s First Steps parenting program.

| First Steps supports and nurtures participants on a journey through the important ‘first steps’ of a child’s life, enhancing their knowledge and understanding of children while practicing news skills in a safe and supportive environment.
First Steps is a flexible program with its content able to be delivered sequentially, through an eight-session group work program, or adapted to the particular needs of a wide range of delivery settings.
Thanks to funding from the Ernst & Young Foundation we have been able to package the program into this easy to use resource and distribute it broadly to our colleagues who may be working with young people.

The Turtle Program is a free and confidential therapeutic program for children, adolescents and mothers after family violence. The program offers regular opportunities for children and their mothers to make sense of the impact of violence upon their relationship in a safe and playful environment.
Our logo: Turtles are resilient animals that carry their secure base with them. A turtle represents our working goal of fostering safety and security in mother-child relationships after family violence. We recognise also in our work that change takes time, hence the importance of setting a slow and steady pace.
The ‘Together : Strengthening the bond between mums and kids’© booklet is a resource that the Turtle Program developed in 2011 with funding from a University of Melbourne Knowledge Partnership Grant. The colour booklet is for mothers and children to read together as they heal from trauma.
| Products available:
| - Turtle Program Booklet 'Together strengthening the bond between mums and kids' - $15.00
| - Turtle Program Brochure - free of charge. Each Turtle Program Booklet comes with the Turtle Program Brochure. If you would like to order some brochures without the booklet please download the order form.

Yarning Up on Trauma was designed to assist workers in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community organisations who work with vulnerable children and families throughout Victoria to understand historical and present day trauma. It attempts to assist those workers to recognise and deal with traumas of their own, as well as those of the children and families they work with.
Whilst this book has largely been written for the Aboriginal Communities within Victoria who have participated in the training, it is hoped that others working alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and Communities may also find this book helpful, as well as those wanting to learn more about trauma and attachment disruption from a cultural perspective.
The resource guide accompanies the training and can be purchased separately for:
