Parenting programmes
Helping parents understand their children's needs -
that's what our parenting programmes are all about. Working with
both parents, we can help them cope with present and future
difficulties, always keeping the wellbeing of their child at the
centre.
Delivered by our family support workers, our parenting programmes
include Webster Stratton, Triple P, Parenting Positively,
Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities and Handling
Children's Behaviour. They support all parents' needs and can
specifically help:
- teenage parents, parents of children with disabilities and
parents who have been placed on parenting orders
- families at risk of eviction or exclusion from mainstream
services due to anti-social behaviour
- families referred to a family intervention programme who may
need some individual work prior to moving into a group
Getting parents involved
By working with parents to observe their child's play, we can help
them understand the personal, social and emotional growth this
brings to children. This time is also used to understand physical
and creative development. During group work, parents learn just how
important this is to their child's future emotional wellbeing. As a
result, they will have a better understanding of their children's
development, and build a closer relationship with them.
