About this Event
What is it?
This workshop recognises that parenting can be a hard role, especially in today’s challenging world of a cost-of-living crisis, post pandemic with ever increasing stressors. Arguments and disagreements in parenting relationships are normal, however if it is frequent, intense and poorly resolved it may impact on the outcomes of children.
This is an introductory workshop following our stepped approach to supporting families in Warwickshire and is about helping families deal with any issues as early as possible.
Parents/carers must live in Warwickshire
Who is it for?
The Parenting Together workshop is for parents (including expectant parents) of children 0-19 (25 with SEND) living together and those living apart. It is suitable for co-parents in separate homes, single parents supported by other adult carers, extended families, and blended ‘step’ families. The word “parents” is used to refer to anyone in a parenting role, including foster carers, grandparents, etc.
