The course take place with groups sizes typically between 6 and 12 in a non-judgemental, open environment with an option to dial in remotely. Each session lasts 2 hours and is a structured, practical workshop covering specific skills with a chance for parents to discuss their situation/issues and apply the skills directly to their individual circumstances. Parents receive a very detailed course manual to share with other people caring for their child and specific tasks to try at home and feedback on each week.
Some parents who attend have quite specific problems/issues they need to address. Others just want to know how to develop their parenting skills and get the best out of their children. The group setting makes the course very engaging and parents learn a lot through sharing and hearing about the experience of others (many report this is the greatest benefit). This gives support, reassurance and ‘normalises’ some common place issues that other parents also feel.
