Here are some photos from one of our favourite playgrounds - Sutherland Shire Centenary Park. So much space to run around, have a picnic, go on flying fox, swings, climbing frame, build sandcastles. Plenty of shade for those hot sunny days ☀️🌳#supervisedvisit #holdinghandssyd

Check out this great interactive magnet activity! 2 magnet pens - great for teaching kids how to take turns, and wonderful opportunities for parents to provide praise and encouragement to their child. #childcontact #supervisedvisit #holdinghandssyd #magnets👍🧲

Look where we went for a visit this week - Double Bay library. It’s a beautifully designed library with lots of different interactive spaces. Very child friendly and has nice eateries nearby. #holdinghandssyd #supervisedvisit #parenting #childfocused

#ThursdayMotivation If Child Contact Centres, run by volunteers, didn't exist, thousands of children across the country would be unable to have a relationship with both of their parents. It's #whywevolunteer

[Avenue Child Contact @AvenueCCC]

Our #FridayFeeling comes from knowing we are enabling 12 families to have contact at our Centre tomorrow. Without Child Contact Centres thousands of children would be unable to have relationships with both parents.

Here are some wonderful thoughtful things to say to kids when they’re crying. My favourite is “I can see this is hard for you”. 😢 #childcontact #supervisedvisit #parenting #holdinghandssyd

Tons of work goes on behind the scenes to keep #childcontactcentres open & providing a #safe place for #children keeping in touch with #separatedparents. Is it time to #employ a #coordinator? https://t.co/R5lh93jMeS #shareskills #volunteer #finance #employmentlaw #notforprofit

Threats to harm or kill pets are a serious family violence risk factor. Vets are now being trained to spot the signs of abuse and respond to pet owners who need help. https://t.co/WmMCz4A7Al

When parents separate child arrangements can be hard to agree. Sometimes a child starts refusing to see their other parent. New #socialworker guidelines this Autumn to consider if a child has been deliberately turned against one parent, by the other....https://t.co/N5l0QSmkap

Behaviour is communication. This is a wonderful video about children’s behaviour. #childcontact #supervisedvisit #holdinghandssyd https://t.co/fcKBCPq6LO

Entrenched conflict between #separatedparents can affect children's #selfesteem. They will be experiencing #loss & lack of control which can lead to #selfharm. #Childcontactcentres can help but #mentalhealth #awareness is needed. Find your local centre https://t.co/vQLUYMNt7y

[Are You Safe at Home? @AYSAH_Day]

All women with disabilities have the right to feel safe and be respected. @WDVtweet has developed a new video resource for women with disabilities about how to identify violence and abuse and how to get help to feel safe. https://t.co/oPOjndS4Bh https://t.co/1nmUp7QreE

Some really clear & important messages to give to children about divorce. Holding Hands supports children through this separation by facilitating supervised visits & changeovers, and providing resources to parents to navigate this process. https://t.co/gL9vz6u6PI

What a great forum today, we need to get behind kin carers and the kids they are raring often isolated and with limited support https://t.co/UD9zXZwtbm

It’s going to be a wet & windy weekend ahead... so get out your umbrellas and gumboots. All our visits are moving indoors to libraries, play centres and bowling this weekend. Still lots of fun and positive interactions to be had. #childcontact #supervisedvisit #holdinghandssyd
