Strengthening Families Resourcing Parents is a non-profit organisation aiming to:

1. Provide a comprehensive list of parenting education events occuring in Greater Sydney through our Events Calendar
2. Provide information to professionals working with parents on training and professional support through  the Professionals Training Calendar
3. To encourage and assist not-for-profit agencies (for example pre-schools, early intervention services, health, non-government agencies, councils, schools) to deliver parenting information, support and education initiatives to families in their community who have children aged 0-8 years. Funding to enable agencies to do this is available in the Inner West and South Eastern Sydney.
