Free Parenting/Caregiver Workshops - Developing Your Child’s Wellbeing
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
We wish to provide you with an opportunity to participate in free online parenting workshops, designed to support your child’s emotional well-being.
Run by Educational Psychologists, it introduces the Friends Resilience programme, created by Professor Paula Barrett, which serves as the basis for the sessions.
About the Friends Resilience programme
Friends Resilience is an early intervention programme. Its primary goal is to prevent and reduce anxiety and depression by instilling emotional intelligence and coping skills in children.
The programme has a strong evidence base, approved by the World Health Organisation for anxiety prevention (Essau et al., 2012). This programme involves developing effective coping skills for managing challenging situations, building problem-solving abilities, building peer relationships and other support networks and teaching how to create coping step plans, breaking down goals into achievable steps.
