A Word from Doris

Hello everyone.

Iā€™m Doris and I am the coordinator of the Jumbunna Intensive Parenting Program (JIPP). The program has been funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services until 2020 and supports families in the Casino and Kyogle regions. The program supports families by providing individual therapist support, home visiting, a supported playgroup, parenting programs (Triple P and Circle of Security) and school readiness programs (Parent Success for Goori families and Playing and Learning to Socialise Program (PALS).

I have been the coordinator of the program since 2008. Previously I have worked as a teacher and school counsellor and I am a registered Psychologist. I particularly like working at Jumbunna because I believe in the importance of early intervention to support families in these challenging times.
