Explore seeing children’s symptoms through a systems lens – based on Bowen family systems theory.
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.
This training is foundational learning for the Confident Parent Course facilitator or co-facilitator training. This version of the course uses non-clinical language suited to community workers, teachers and other non-clinical workers.
