Family Systems Understanding of Symptoms in Children - Community version
This course uses non-clinical language and is foundational learning for understanding the Parent Hope Project.
Explore seeing children’s symptoms through a systems lens – based on Bowen family systems theory.
This training uses non-clinical language suited to community workers, teachers and other non-clinical workers.
In the training, Dr Jenny Brown describes the family systems ideas that explain the complexity of mental health and behavioural symptoms in children.
The Parent Hope Project programs are built on these ideas, and this training is foundational learning for the parent coach manualised program and Confident Parent Course group facilitator training.
