 A seminar series to help parents recover confidence in their capacity to be a resource for their child’s well-being in our challenging social climate.

Today’s parents are bombarded with confusing messages about their child’s emotional well-being – How to deal with the impacts of social media & the epidemic of mental health symptoms. How do parents know how to be supportive without being labelled helicopter parents? How do parents know what is the appropriate autonomy to give children without being labelled neglectful?

Dr Jenny Brown has been working as a mental health professional in child and adolescent mental health for decades. From her research, clinical and consulting work she has developed an approach that helps parents to navigate the pressures of parenting in anxious times. Her seminar presents a paradigm shift away from focussing on children, to focussing on what is in the parent’s capacities. Parents will gain insights into how they can best contribute to their child’s positive emotional health through the school age years.

This seminar series was professionally filmed at an actual event for parents. There are two version of the training available:

1. For general community
2. For Church groups (These are precisely the same events, but the church version includes a short Bible reflection relevant to the topic at the end of the talk and in the workbooks)
