Community Programs

Come dine with us at a Community Dinner!

Our Community Dinners are designed to unite families in a warm atmosphere, enhancing connections and promoting children's well-being.

Families with children of all ages are invited to enjoy delicious food, laughter, and memories together. 

A diverse menu will cater to various tastes, ensuring everyone leaves happy and satisfied!

More about our Community Dinners

Early Support for Parents have developed a community program for our local rural neighbourhoods in Southern Tasmania.  Our Community Dinner pilot program events bring together different families in the same community.  
We do this because:

• Family dinners are known to improve children’s vocabulary, build resilience, self-esteem.
• Normalising healthy parenting experiences encompasses a variety of practices and interactions that promote the physical, emotional, and social well-being of both parents and children.
• There is substantial research linking family dinners and shared meals with positive outcomes for children and teens.
• Several studies have shown associations between regular family dinners and decreased risks of various negative outcomes.
• Other factors, such as family dynamics, communication, and overall family functioning may also play a role in promoting positive outcomes for children, teens and their families and caregivers.
