BALLARAT Community Health will facilitate a family-focussed workshop for fathers from diverse multicultural backgrounds this weekend, in partnership with Community Abundance.
The Strengthening Family Relationships Forum will be held virtually on Saturday, 16 October from 6pm to 8pm.
“The workshop… will discuss how we can maintain safe, harmonious families in a new country, while still respecting culture and tradition,” a Ballarat Community Health spokesperson said.
Speakers include RMIT University’s Associate Professor Bawa Kuyini, Community Abundance’s Deng Kor, Victoria Police detective senior sergeants Tony Coxall and Todd Sparkman, and The Orange Door Central Highlands’ Marg Murphy and Mandy Gambino.
The session will run via zoom. The link can be accessed at bit.ly/3ae2OUC.

Finally, a session for young people is also planned for Wednesday, 26 January, with more information to be released in the coming months.
