Everything You Need to Know About Us.

Why

We have learned that when parents gather together, this is the best way for them to support their families, learn, grow, get inspired, feel connected, give back, and celebrate. So we provide regular opportunities to facilitate such gatherings, by helping parents and carers to access information normally only available to professionals while connecting them with others who share their passions.

You are welcome to join our online workshops if you have children between 0-16 years of age with either emerging or established concerns about:

• Preparing for and becoming new parents
• Parenting in challenging times,
• Early years development,
• Promoting healthy social and emotional development in young people.

You can meet our team and other parents and carers on our live online workshops made up of small parent groups. This private community is a confidential environment for parents to develop the most effective parenting behaviours and learn from each other, using action-learning and problem-solving techniques.

You can also get free access our Award Winning 'One Coach to One Family' service.
