Parent Hope Project

Before undertaking Level 1 training, ensure you have completed the theory course: Family Systems Understanding of Symptom Development in Children. 

The Level 1 training package includes the theory course, available here.  

The Level 1 training course then starts with 16 hours of training in the manualised program, and how to use it. This was filmed as two days of group training, and we encourage you to watch this training over four-weeks. The videos include demonstrations and role-plays, and the online platform includes interactive learning and reflections. You can watch the videos in segments flexibly to fit your schedule. At the end of the initial training section, there is a reflective assignment.

You can then start piloting the manuals with parents and view four recorded supervision sessions. The final assignment is a reflection on using the program with a client. There is ongoing support through a trainee question hub, monthly live webinars, and access to a resource library including past webinars.

To become a Parent Hope Clinician, you will need complete the Level 2 training. This comes after Level 1 and is a shorter course extending your learning in using the manuals, including to groups, and allows you to advertise and list with us as a Parent Hope Clinician.

It is possible to move straight to the Level 1 training without completing theory training if you have completed an in-depth Bowen theory training program. Please email [email protected] with evidence of your previous training if this applies to you.
