Research shows that a strong relationship with parents is the key to helping teens thrive and stay safe during adolescence - that's why we offer the Connect Programme for parents - an expert-led program designed to help you build and strengthen your connection with your teen.
Parents meet in small groups with two trained group leaders for 90 minutes each week. Each session provides parents with a new perspective on parent-teen relationships and adolescent development. Parents watch role-plays and try exercises that encourage more choices for responding to their teens’ difficult behaviour.
We understand that each child and each parent is different and change is part of development. Rather than teach only one way of parenting, we help parents to see alternatives in dealing with their teens in ways which support healthy relationships while setting limits and helping their teen to move forward.
By the end, we hope to have created a network of support for participants that can provide further connection beyond the programme.
