Are you finding parenting or family relationships challenging?
Warrington's Parenting and Positive Relatinships Service delivers evidence based parenting programmes which can form part of wider Early Help Support. The programmes are delivered across Warrington by skilled and experienced accredited facilitators.
Parenting programmes aim to help parents provide the best possible environment in which their children can develop socially, emotionally and reach their full potential. They aim to promote well-being and resilience by supporting families to build good attachment in infancy and beyond and reduce the likelihood of problems arising, whilst improving overall parenting.
We offer different parenting programmes based on your child’s age and your family’s needs, such as help with:
- social skills
- emotional regulation
- setting boundaries
- managing behaviour
- positive discipline strategies
- setting realistic expectations
- technology information
These programmes also help parents to understand the difference between conflict and abuse, healthy and unhealthy behaviours, and how to achieve healthy relationships with your children.
