Upcoming Courses
Free Parenting Course – for Parents of Adolescents

This is a FREE programme for parents of adolescents who are often described as challenging, impulsive, or hard to reach.

The programme will be facilitated by Gina Dermody and begins at 6.30pm on Wednesday, March 29th2023 and consists of four, two -hour, evening workshops. Adolescence can be a challenging and lonely time for young people and their families. “It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that means, an entire community of people must interact with children for those children to grow in a safe and healthy environment. We aim to create a safe space to support parents to develop personal resources and skills to effectively manage challenging and risky behaviours, whilst maintaining good enough parent- teenager relations.
