AN innovative early parenting service will soon offer increased face-to-face services to families in the Armidale region, with the establishment of Tresillian Family Care Centre. A Tresillian 2U mobile van is also planned for the Inverell district.
The State Government committed $12.2 million in the Budget to establish six new day service centres, including one in Armidale, to improve access to breastfeeding support, infant settling and sleep issues, and peri-natal anxiety and depression assistance.
Once open the new facility will provide additional support for families negotiating the challenges of the early parenting period.
Tresillian is Australia’s largest Early Parenting not-for-profit
organisation, providing programs to help families navigate the trials that come from having a new baby or toddler.
Tresillian CEO Rob Mills said group programs would commence from the premises later this year.
“The addition of Tresillian’s Armidale site will provide more parents with more services and more support and delivers on Tresillian’s vision which is to ensure every child has the best possible start in life,” Mr Mills said.
“Currently we are in the process of staff recruitment, hiring a number of specialist child and family health nurses to be part of our team.
“The building fit out is complete and it is anticipated the service will be officially launched in July or August this year.
“This development has been well received by local health providers and we are really looking forward to working on ensuring locals have a joyous and fulfilling parenting experience.”
The Tresillian 2U mobile van for Inverell is expected to be on the road and providing outreach programs to families in August 2022.
