The Parenting When Separated courses have begun!
The Early Help Team are pleased to announce that the Parenting When Separated Programme has begun! It is a practical and positive evidence-based course for parents who are preparing for, going through or have gone through a separation or divorce.
It is a six-week course that highlights practical steps parents can take to help their children cope and thrive, as well as coping successfully themselves.
Topics include:
- Solving co-parenting problems in a positive way that focus on the needs of children.
- Cope with the emotional impact of separation and learn stress management techniques.
