As well as running courses for groups of parents we also run:

Workshops

A "taster" workshop can encourage parents who are unsure about a parenting course to come along and try a one-off session. Some groups of parents ask for single workshops on individual subjects such as self-esteem or assertion, drugs, ADHD etc. We are happy to develop specific workshop topics to meet parents' specific needs.

Support Groups

All parent groups completing one of our courses are offered the opportunity to continue to meet as a support group. Many parents welcome the opportunity to meet up with other parents from their course at a time and location to suit them.

Support groups offer an informal, friendly environment in which to develop friendships and encourage each other to maintain the positive changes instigated during the course. They also give parents a chance to look at further needs or issues that have not been fully explored on the course, so enhancing the course experience.

We encourage the development of all support groups; however parents of children with special needs may find them particularly useful. Our parent friendly, holistic approach is especially well suited to encouraging parents in establishing and running their own groups.
