Your stay with us will provide
an opportunity for you and your family to explore any
parenting issues you are currently facing.
Parenting issues involve the whole family and we invite
you, your partner or a support person to attend.
The program is designed to assist you to achieve your
goals. The program has 4 phases:
• Exploration
• Confidence building
• Skill consolidation
• Preparation for home
Tweddle recognises that each family is unique. We
respond to your individual needs working with you to
achieve your goals and we will be on hand day and night.
In a typical day, we will work with you to develop confidence
in your skills. This will be achieved by observing
you do the task and providing you with feedback and
encouragement. Information groups are run everyday and
you are invited to attend them.
Day Stay Program - Research and Evaluation - Tweddle Child and Family Health ...Tweddle Australia
A recent Monash University Jean Hailes Research Unit study into the Tweddle Day Stay Program examined the health, social circumstances and presenting needs of 115 clients attending the Tweddle Day stay Program. The study looked at parents with infants under 12 months old and assessed the parent mental health and infant behaviour outcomes and factors associated with program success. Results revealed that Day Stay participants’ mental health and their infants’ behaviours were significantly improved after their admission.
Recent Victorian State Government policy and legislative changes are intended to promote earlier intervention for vulnerable families and children. Tweddle’s Day Stay programs, which operate across 5 western locations across Victoria, have a focus on infant health and development and the promotion of parent-infant emotional attachment. The study, conducted by Heather Rowe, Sonia Mccallum, Minh Thi H Le and Renzo Vittorino concluded that the Day Stay Program offered important benefits for the prevention of more serious family problems and consequent health care cost savings

Kids can have a hard time understanding what happens when loved ones travel. Where are they? When will they be back? How do I cope with missing them?
One way to handle these questions if by reading the Charlie the Cavalier Begs for attention book with your little one and then using the Charlie the Cavalier Puppet to video chat while someone is away.

Parents who have to juggle between work and family, parenting their kids and raising them in a controlled environment can be a tough proposition. For such pigeonholed parents, daycare for kids have proved to be a boon in disguise.

This research reports on the perceptions of 27 fathers involved in fi ve focus groups which were conducted in late 2009 on behalf of Tweddle Child and Family Health Service in Melbourne. The fathers in this research highlight their encounters with services that frequently presume they are secondary or part-time parents.
Tweddle’s programs are underpinned by four key themes also known as our four Ts. Our priority is to help parents learn about their child by teaching them about secure attachment and attunement, as a result a child builds trust and a sense of security. This is done in a timely manner that acknowledges that the peak period of development for a child is the first 1000 days. We do this together with families, staff, community organisations and universal services.

The ‘Empowering Somali Mums’ research project explores and documents the challenges faced by Somali Mothers and their 0-4 year old children so that Early Parenting professionals can provide culturally respectful and appropriate care for Somali families. Somali mothers from North Melbourne and Flemington were recruited for research groups attended by 28 mums, 27 phone interviews with Somali health and welfare professionals were conducted and we held a Somali Health workers forum with ten senior community workers. We wanted to understand the challenges which prevent Somali mums from accessing parenting assistance and how we can understand parenting from a Somali mum’s perspective.
Tweddle staff are undergoing cross-cultural training and building knowledge and resources that will help strengthen relationships between the Somali community, and other migrant communities. Tweddle provide Halal food, have private prayer space and families can bring up to three children to Tweddle. Thanks to the Victorian Women’s Trust (Con Irwin Sub Fund) for providing the grant that enabled this learning.
At Tweddle, we assist parents with young children who need support and strategies to confidently manage the challenges of early parenting. Families with children and babies up to the age of four years old are welcome.
