Parenting Workshops
In order to support and give back to our local community, The Parenting Centre runs free parenting workshops across the Sunshine Coast and Northern Brisbane Regions. In addition to the community workshops, Dr. Bob is a popular guest speaker / presenter for organizations desiring individual workshops, or a series of workshops.
Dr. Bob has been described by many as an engaging speaker. Attendees have consistently found these workshops to be meaningful and powerful.
