About this event

'NOTE: This event is only for Australian Defence Force members and families'

ADF families in Canungra, we are piloting a children’s group resilience programme, ‘ADF equip’ to help ADF kids adjust to the unique challenges they experience as a member of a Defence family.

This pilot program will be delivered for two age groups: 5 to 8 years and 9 to 12 years.

The sessions will focus on tips and support for coping with periods of extended parental absence and for maintaining connection. At the start of each session, children will take part in an informal activity to get to know each other. Following this, they will participate in structured activities to improve their management of Defence-related parental absence challenges.
