What is this training about?

Parenting a troubled child can be a very stressful experience. There is an overwhelming need to understand what is going on for your child, and most importantly, how to support them in the best ways possible. Whilst there are no ‘magic answers’, often knowing a little more about the difficulty your child is facing, and exploring different strategies to support them can be incredibly helpful.

Parent Seminar: Creative conversations
Vulnerable, troubled children and young people are easily triggered into feelings that are overwhelming. By exploring different ways of communicating about big feelings, difficult questions and worrying behaviours, we can support and empower our children to express themselves in a more positive and safer way.

What are the learning aims?

In this Parent Seminar Series, a Clinical Psychologist or an Educational Psychologist will walk you through how to understand the difficulty; and how to support your child in ways that can create change and hope. These are very much ‘how to’ seminars – you will leave with some practical strategies that you can try the moment you get home!

How long is the training?

10.30am - 12pm
