Parenting Lab

The Utopia Research Institute will be approaching the Department of Health and the Department of Education to propose the development of the Family Clinic and Parenting Lab within the recently abandoned hospital buildings at Callan Park.

This facility will be a unique family support, education and research facility and will be the first line of defense against the continuing epidemic of Mental Ill Health that has afflicted our children and our community.

The Parenting Lab will enable our research to improve the assessment of skills in parent/child behaviour and define future analysis modelling to deliver quantitative training modules (tools and techniques for positive parenting).

The Parenting Lab programs will assist in identifying the primary needs of families with children, including mental, emotional, and physical strengths and weaknesses and is based on an approach to parenting consultation that emphasises the active collaboration of parents and carers in identifying their needs, their strengths, competencies and identifying child/parent skill development goals.

We invite you to support the Family Clinic at Callan Park by becoming a member today.
