Programs for Parents
Parenting is full of joy, but it can also come with challenges. At Fair Foundations, we’re here to walk alongside you with care, respect and practical support.

Whether you’re navigating tricky behaviours, supporting your child’s emotions, or strengthening your relationship with your teen, our small group programs offer guidance in a supportive space, with others who are on a similar journey.
All sessions are delivered by trained facilitators and focus on practical strategies you can start using straight away.

What families say about our programs
“I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to Fair Foundations for their outstanding emotional coaching and parenting support services. The program has made a meaningful difference in my life as a parent and as an individual.
The emotional coaching sessions gave me a safe space to talk about my feelings and challenges without fear of judgment. The support and guidance I received helped me build emotional resilience, improve my self-awareness, and feel more confident in managing everyday stress.”
Maryana
“Highly recommend the Tuning In To Kids Program, I had a wonderful experience learning about emotion coaching and seeing things in a different perspective, thank you so much.”
Sophie
“I used the parenting strategies with my youngest child and also tried emotional coaching with my oldest daughter. The information I received really changed my relationship with my children and helped me build a much better bond with them. I’m very happy and I recommend this program to other parents who want support with their kids.
Thank you very much, Fair Foundations!”
