ADF Member & Resident family – ADF EQUIP program for parental absence

DMFS Darwin is running an ADF Equip Resilience program to assist children (yrs 5 to 7yrs) from ADF families manage change due to parental absence. In this one-day workshop, your child will take part in a range of activities designed to build up their strategies to support their social and emotional resilience relating to parental absence. Our workshop is an opportunity for children to get together with their peers, learn something new, have some fun and interact with others who are in similar circumstances.

Please bring a packed lunch and morning tea and drink bottle for the day.

This will be a one-day workshop for ADF children aged between 5yrs to 7yrs.

Be sure to register by 8th July 2026.
