" Deirdre’s parenting education session on ‘creating family connection’ was outstanding with excellent feedback from Partners to EAs. Deirdre’s deep experience and warm, practical style was extremely well received, so much so that we are booking more sessions. As a COO, it has became apparent that the parenting challenges of today’s world are a hidden stress for many of our leaders and employees. Supporting and helping our people to improve their parenting, and in turn manage their parent anxiety is now an important aspect of our employee wellbeing program”

DEIRDRE BRANDER
Paediatric & Family Psychologist, Speaker & Author
Bluestone Families Deirdre Brandner is a highly acclaimed Australian child and family psychologist, parenting expert, and author whose advice is sought after as a global expert in both Australia and the United States.
Deirdre is a popular speaker and facilitator for executive teams looking to improve their connection with their families. As many leaders know, work and stress can deprive busy executives of opportunities to connect with their children. Additionally, the rise in mental health challenges among children and teens has made parenting a hidden stressor for many executives. Whether they are parents, step-parents, grandparents, or caregivers, Deirdre’s sessions provide business leaders with a unique opportunity to understand their impact on their families and learn practical tools and techniques to enhance family connections and strengthen their children’s mental health.
Progressive business leaders have recognized that family well-being is the next evolution of employee well-being, and, as with all corporate initiatives, it starts at the top.
“Family wellbeing is the next generation of employee wellbeing.”
When things aren’t going well at home, family issues can be all consuming for executives who are parents. Productivity and performance are negatively impacted as busy executives worry about their children and home life. Today’s parenting has an unprecedented set of challenges that most time poor executives have not had the opportunity to educate themselves in. Combine that with the serious uptick in mental health struggles faced by our children and adolescents and we find many senior leaders struggling to know how to prevent, support and manage their children’s mental health challenges.
This unique session with Bluestone Families child and family psychologist is designed to give time constrained leaders evidence based, practical parenting and family connection tips that will improve their family connection and remove some of the worry and anxiety associated with today’s parenting.
