Family Friendly Communities Resources

Pramwalkers Program Manual
This a popular initiative that aims to improve the health and wellbeing for parents in the Victorian city of Darebin. The program was developed by the local Maternal and Child Health Department to help local parents adjust to the demands of a new baby and to reduce the risk of social isolation, post-natal stress or depression. Participants meet in designated places to enjoy pram walks in local parks and walking tracks in and around the city. Darebin Pramwalkers have produced a manual to help you set up a pramwalking program in your local aread. Download the manual [PDF Document] HERE
