There is a wide range of wonderful resources out there to support you in your quest for family work balance including books, websites and more. Here are just a few. As I’m currently based in Australia, there is a focus here but many sites are useful resources internationally.
I’m still working my way through this list (mostly while the kids are asleep!). If you’d like your details to be included, please contact me for further information. Also please let me know if there is anything that needs updating 🙂
