Parents Workshops
Parents and carers play a key role in helping children and young people to stay safe and equip them with the skills to do so, however a lot of pressure can be put on parents to hold difficult conversations or support young people around sensitive topics such as unhealthy relationships, sexting or self-harm, that they may not full understand or receive support around. Our workshops have been designed to empower parents and carers develop the confidence and skills to have these conversations and equips them with practical strategies and resources to help support.
