Psychoeducation for Parents, Children and Young People

Space to learn. To make sense of mental and emotional developments and manage interactions. Together.

When we are more informed and can reflect on how to respond in situations, we can affect better outcomes.

Being a parent, guardian, or young person can have its [highly emotive] challenges. If we can understand a bit more about what might be going on, to connect with ourselves and the other person, we can be more internally equipped, and understanding of ourselves, and one another, to have the potential to respond in the most effective way.

A variety of programmes, webinars and workshops are made available to provide insight, knowledge and practical tools enabling you to have awareness of children and young people’s development stages, their needs, ways in which we can support them, and ways they can support themselves. Empowering you to have some understanding of them as individuals, and them of themselves, within changing circumstances, the effects of their environment, and various relationship dynamics. Supporting you to manage yours and their mental health and wellbeing.

Parenting and childhood don’t come with manuals, although nowadays we can pick up knowledge online and through books. These programmes provide an opportunity for groups of parents or children to learn and discuss practical strategies together.

An eight week psycho-education programme delivered to groups of parents/carers, based on mentalization, an approach that helps adults understand their own minds and emotions, and those of their children.
