  • An independent evaluation is being governed by a multi-agency steering committee and has been funded by the Queensland Mental Health Commission.

“The ABC program was an amazing experience and it had taught me so many things I didn’t know. It made me have a stronger connection between me and my son and helped me communicate with him a lot better… [it was] a wonderful experience and I truly would recommend this for anyone who has the opportunity to do it.” – ABC Parent
