A research-based program for those who work with children, parents and families - helping parents to make a positive project out of themselves and reduce their anxious focus on their children/young people

About Course 4 Level 2

This training is for those who want more in-depth learning about the Parent Hope/Project. It takes place after completing Course 3 Level 1.

It starts with an intensive, which was originally one day of group training. These 8 hours of training fits into a two-week timeframe. 

This course consolidates the application of the Parent Hope (or Confidence) interventions. It includes training to use the group format and the extension program for parents. 

Following the intensive, trainees continue to use the manualized program with parents and trial a parent group. They have access to a supervision group recording about extension sessions with parents. Live online webinars with a case presentation &  Q & A with Dr Jenny Brown support the learning.

At completion, within two months, Trainees can be listed as parent coaches and publicize their credentialing to provide this service. 

Prerequisites

The introductory seminar and foundational learning courses must be completed before enrolling in the full training course.

It is possible to move straight to the parent coach training without completing required theory training seminars if you have completed an in-depth training program in Bowen theory. Please email contact@parenthope.com.au to request an exemption, providing evidence of your previous training.
