The Parenting group is a small friendly and supportive group to help parents who are finding it difficult to cope with their caring role. Through the course material, discussion of video clips and exercises such as role play parents gain the skills to address their individual needs in a safe and confidential setting. Our course starting November 2012 is for WOMEN only with translation to other languages available.

The project is to help give people a range of skills to help them fulfil their role as parents or carers. There are situations which we could have handled differently or changed the outcome if only we had a different method of addressing the issue. The course allows parents to identify different triggers for behaviours and find solutions.We are able to tailor the sessions to be culturally sensitive to the needs of the diverse local population including using translation or translated materials

Participants will have gained skills, confidence and have stategies in place to deal with their own and their childrens behaviour, enabling them to avoid conflict and enjoy their time together. Both parents and their children will grow in confidence and self esteem. The course is a simply written, jargon free book offering fresh thought provoking ideas and common sense suggestions.
