Family Skills Courses

Supporting My Teen With Wellbeing looks at the changes taking place in the thinking of a teenager and supports parents to promote a more positive outlook.

Supporting My Teen to Understand Their Skills supports parents and carers of teenagers to know how to engage more positively with their teenagers and to help them identify their teenagers’ strengths and help them make plans for the future.

Supporting Myself to Support My Child reminds parents and carers of the importance of their own wellbeing while caring for children and shares simple, accessible strategies for identifying and responding to needs, and working with professionals, if necessary. This course is three sessions.

Our Helping My Child series share simple, accessible techniques parents and carers can use at home to support their children with managing anxiety, building resilience, and coping well with changes, for example, those happening now for children starting new schools, new classes, or for those experiencing their first day at school.

Understanding School Anxiety: Early Signs of Emotionally Based School Avoidance. This course helps to clarify what EBSA is and shares ways in which parents can help at home and staff can help in school. This course is helpful for parents and carers of children who are managing to attend school full time; for those whose attendance has already slipped, our helping my child courses would be more helpful.
