Thank you, a millions times thank you for the outreach program they gave me the confidence to be alone with my baby and rebuild my connection and bond. It’s mind blowing this is already not a funded program and that you have to beg borrow and plead for this funding ongoing. Mothers and baby desperately needing support in the south west where we are more isolated and can get overlooked.
The Young Mums group run by Radiance has helped and supported me in many ways, they have provided me with multiple support systems to do with mental health, financial help, relationships and of course parenting.
I liked the positive vibes and how the focus was on the baby. I loved how it was facilitated and how we could deep dive into the analytics. The morning tea was elite!! Really going to miss this out of our routine.
I found the first 1000 days program (Bringing Up Great Kids - Dads) extremely valuable and it definitely helped to grow my confidence as a new father. The facilitators were kind, caring and compassionate and allowed space for the whole group to learn and share organically in a welcoming environment. I highly recommend the program to all fathers!
I was surviving on two pieces of toast a day and I wasn't coping mentally at all. The first day I walked into Radiance I felt my shoulders relax. The warm smiles from the facilitators and the group members put me immediately at ease. In that second I realised I was not alone. Having a safe space to talk about my struggles and everyone's nodding heads of familiarity with those struggles felt like the big brain hug that I needed.
I am so grateful as my daughter is alive because of this amazing organisation and passionate woman. She continues to receive ongoing support by attending the playgroup sessions each week to maintain a balance with her ongoing mental illness. What a wonderful support this group is to supplement the mental health organisations in communities.
