The Families Course is a fantastic course to support and equip parents and those working with children to create a strong nurturing environment where kids can thrive.

Last year Fusion Canberra held their first Families Course for families in Kambah.

This year, the Families Team at Fusion Western Sydney have brought Macquarie Univerity on board as a partner to specifically find out how the course is helping families.

Macquarie University have a grant to research 100 participants of the Families Course this year and want our Canberra course to be included with other courses around the country.

Fusion Canberra will be holding another course in October, with more information to come about that in the next months.
