CSPWA are delighted to announce that we will be facilitating two parent information sessions with Dr Justin Coulson on Thursday 29th May 2025. Justin is the founder of happyfamilies.com.au and is co-host and parenting expert on Channel Nine’s “Parental Guidance.”
We are very grateful to Ursula Frayne Catholic College in Victoria Park for hosting the two parent sessions for us, one at 10:30am and one in the evening at 7pm. Both sessions will be held in the gymnasium of the Ursula Frayne secondary campus (Joachim) which is located at 15 Duncan St, Victoria Park.
Session 1: 10:30am-12:00pm
Anxiety: Helping Your Child Navigate a World of Worry
It's heartbreaking to see our kids struggling with anxiety. The statistics paint a stark picture: anxiety disorders are on the rise, affecting approximately one in seven primary school children and one in four adolescents. We see our kids burdened by fears and worries, their confidence fading, and sometimes even experiencing panic attacks. As parents, we desperately want to help, but often feel lost or unsure of what to do.
This presentation offers a lifeline. We'll explore what anxiety looks like in children, and provide you with simple, practical strategies that are both clinically proven and easy to implement at home.
Empower yourself with the knowledge and tools to support your child's emotional wellbeing and help them build resilience in the face of anxiety.

Session 2: 7:00-8:30pm
Parental Guidance
What does it mean to be a good parent? Are you a good parent when your child is compliant, but a bad parent when they're not? What if they're perfect at age three and challenging at thirteen? And what if your child has additional needs?
Join Dr Justin for a practical presentation which draws on content from his new book, The Parenting Revolution, and incorporates up-to-the-minute research in parenting science as well as studies of childhood development.
Dr Justin Coulson will show you:
how our children thrive when we understand and meet their basic psychological needs;how our job is not to fix our kids, but to create an environment that supports their growth and development; andhow children flourish when we minimise control, but maximise our warmth and involvement, and establish healthy boundaries.
