The workshop provided information and experience to those attending from that work Intrrelate do with families in both counselling and conflict resolution. Data was also presented from research in local Out Of School Care centres. This data indicated that 10  percent of children at one cetnre are in step families and almost all in the other centre in the study are in similar blended families.

Working with these families and understanding the complexitiy of familial relationships is a difficult and increasingly mainstream area in the community sector.

Kooindah Waters is a well presented and relaxed environment for discussion about what can be a difficult and challenging working role.
