About Us
Our Story
We Connect & Grow （WE）is not just a group of professionals with over 20 years of experience in parenting, education, family services, community wellbeing, child protection and family violence services. We are also parents and migrants who have lived the journey they now support others through.
We moved to Australia from different parts of the world and faced the overwhelming realities of starting again, navigating unfamiliar systems, learning new parenting norms, experiencing culture shock, and raising children in a country far from their roots. The feelings of isolation, vulnerability, and confusion were real. And yet, so was the strength they found through connection to others, through cultural identity, and through their own resilience.
WE understand that parenting in a new land can feel like walking without a map. Many parents carry guilt, shame, or fear about reaching out, not knowing where to start and sometimes choosing silence instead. Through years of work, we have seen these same struggles again and again. That’s why we wanted to create something different, a place where families feel safe, seen, and supported, with care that respects culture and offers real help.
WE deeply believe that families deserve more care, more culturally safe spaces and more practical support.
We Connect & Grow is a place where families are not only supported but are truly seen and heard. A place where cultural identity is respected, stories are honoured, and healing is possible.
WE believe that when families are connected, they grow with strength, dignity, and hope.
“Connection” and “Growth” Mean
Connection is the heart of what we do. It means more than relationships, it includes cultural belonging, emotional safety, and feeling truly seen and heard. In parenting, family life and wellbeing, connection builds trust, reduces isolation, and lays the foundation for children’s emotional development and resilience.
Growth happens when families feel safe, connected, and empowered. It's about healing from stress or trauma, learning new skills, and feeling confident to move forward together. Growth means raising children with love and cultural pride, building stronger relationships, and accessing the tools and support to thrive.
Connection is the foundation of safety, and safety is the foundation for growth.
