Welcome to
Alexia Press Hub

We promote a culture rich in diverse and inclusive methods of parenting.

Vision

EMPOWER migrant parents to adopt a positive attitude when they experience new practices in their new environments.

Build RESILIENCE of parents and offer resources which facilitate the ability to parent effectively.

Promote INTEGRATION that takes into account engraved life scripts which change to compensate for cultural differences and disruption of family roles.

Foster INCLUSION in methods used to validate customs from family’s culture of origin which tend to contribute to discrimination and social exclusion when not inclusive.

Encourage PARENTING that is positive and adequately supported by community support services and is more accessible for migrant families.

For You...With Love

Love is beautiful, and being in love is indescribable. Memories of a love that touches the core of your hearts are priceless flashbacks that remind you that you are present. Many are worth your weight in gold. A loss of love is inexplicably painful. Everyone has a story to tell about love…this is mine.

I have found the information I have been looking for through talking to the staff at Alexia Press Hub. Not everything is explained clearly in the departments responsible for integration

“

Alexia Press Hub advocated for my girls to receive lessons from tutors who came to the site. My daughters used to cry every morning because there were no school places for them. Thankfully they have been told that there will be places available for them in October
