THE WORK I DO WITH PARENTS AND COMMUNITIES
I speak with parents, carers and community leaders across Australia who want to better support their young people – and themselves. These sessions are raw, relatable and practical, with a focus on building stronger relationships, modelling healthy behaviour and creating safe, open environments for growth and connection
What’s Luke’s parent talk about?
Luke’s parent sessions are raw, relatable, and empowering. He shares insights from his own journey and from working with thousands of young people, unpacking what kids today are really facing, and how parents can connect, support, and lead with empathy and strength.
Is this just for parents of teens?
Not at all. While much of the focus is on adolescence, parents of children from upper primary through to high school will find it incredibly relevant. The themes of identity, mental health, connection, and communication are universal and timeless.
How long is the session?
Parent talks typically run for 90 minutes, plus time for open Q&A. Parents often stick around after to chat or ask questions — Luke’s approach creates a space where people feel comfortable to open up.
