The Strengthening
Families training course is suitable for anyone
who works with or supports parents and families who have a
disabled child or a child with additional support need; this
includes relationship counsellors, teachers, health workers,
social workers or agencies that have direct contact with the
families. Click here
for more details.
It aims to provide
professionals and supporters with the basic skills to work
empathically with families of disabled children, to support
them through these emotional times and help build stronger
relationships within the family.
The day-long training
course consists of four modules addressing the impact of disability
on family relationships and the skills required by professionals
and supporters to enable families to manage these stresses.
It covers areas such as active listening, contemplation and
reflection as well as specific emotional issues parents may
encounter.
This training course
is an excellent introduction for professionals and supporters
with limited experience or knowledge in this area but it can
also be used as a refresher course.
Individuals can
attend multi-agency training events or organisations/establishments
can book courses directly.
