Behind every safe and connected space for families is a team of people who lead with compassion, knowledge and heart ๐Ÿ’™

Today weโ€™re celebrating Cass and Kimberley, two incredible facilitators supporting families through our Baby NaN and Circle of Security programs at Strong Communities.

Cass joined our team in 2020 as a Social Worker and has brought warmth, wisdom and genuine care to hundreds of families across our community.

Her calm and nurturing approach helps parents feel seen, supported and empowered in their parenting journey.

Kim joined our team this year, bringing over a decade of experience as a Registered Nurse in the perinatal field, alongside training in family therapy and attachment-based work. Kim brings a gentle, relational approach to supporting families through emotionally complex seasons, with a strong focus on connection, safety and relationships.

Together, Cass and Kimberley create spaces where parents and caregivers can slow down, reflect, learn and strengthen connection with their children and themselves.

We are so grateful to have such thoughtful, skilled and heart-led women walking alongside families in our community ๐ŸŒฟ

Last week, we held our First Aid & CPR Training, generously provided by Narbil Training in Gladstone.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to provide this important training for our multicultural community. First Aid and CPR are essential life skills that help people feel more confident and prepared to respond in an emergency, at home, work, or in the community.

Training like this also helps reduce barriers by creating a safe and supportive space for participants to learn, ask questions, and build confidence.

A heartfelt thank you to Narbil Training & our Stronger Together - Gladstone Multicultural Programs team for supporting and empowering our multicultural community in the Gladstone Region.
