How can we help?
The Vision
Parentingplus seeks to work within the community to provide support, encouragement and parenting skills through informal groups and one-to-one work. The materials used on the courses are published by the Family Caring Trust.
We are increasingly developing links with local health visitors, social workers and other professionals who recommend the groups and refer one-to-one work to us. As a result, we are now seeing an increase in people coming on recommendation because friends and colleagues have told them about the groups.
We were pleased to recently be awarded a grant cheque for £1400 from the LloydsTSB Foundation to fund this work and provide equipment.
The Responses?
The following are a selection of the responses received at the end of some recent courses:
“I’ve been on several courses like this, but this is the first time I’ve seen things change so quickly”
“I’ve changed a lot, perhaps more than my teenager, and I’ve stopped trying to make her a mould of me”
“Helped me get close to my child and understand her and not get so wound up”
“Enjoyed being able to talk openly about my worries”
