Support parents in your community

The Confident Parent Course helps parents move from worry about their child, to confidence in their parenting. It introduces parents to family systems ideas, that when parents make a project out of themselves rather than anxiously focusing on their child, this supports children's wellbeing.

The group facilitated version of the 4-part course is delivered with video highlights and facilitated discussion. This package trains you to deliver the course, and provides access to streaming videos for you to use with parent groups.

Package includes 12 months access to:

Training resources: theory training- Family Systems and symptoms in children, 3 hours, followed by facilitator training in how to deliver the course, answer questions and facilitate discussion, 12.5 hours. Online support is provided through the learning hub, with live webinars and a resource library. 

Streaming resources: The Confident Parent Course -  4-part full video version, the 'highlights' version to use when facilitating the Confident Parent Course - this includes a role play, description of key concepts and discussion questions. The 1-part Cultivating Confident Parenting course is also included as a video course alternative for parents. Streaming access for future years without training is available.

I learned so much already about my own parenting - past, current, and hopefully, future - and also my therapeutic practice with kids and families. It is exciting to be turning upside down my thinking and approach to parenting and also supporting parents/caregivers in their efforts to raise children to be psychologically autonomous.

All four sections were excellent. I will be thinking about this for a long time. And I am looking forward to conversations I will soon be having with two supervisors who also took the course and come to it through studying Bowen Theory. Thank you very much Jenny Brown.
