Parents attend with other parents in a group, giving parents a chance to share their experiences and learn from each other. If you are not ready to attend a group then we can look at working 1:1 with you. The aims of the session are to empower the parent to build positive relationships, encourage co-operative behaviour, and develop resilience, empathy and self-esteem in themselves and their children. “I have learnt lots of techniques and ideas.
