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.
To register for the workshops please contact Kathy at Knock Counselling Centre on 0949375032
