Parents Under Pressure
This parenting programme is designed for families who are facing multiple adversities and stressful circumstances. Delivered by fully accredited practitioners, it is an evidence based model that combines psychological principles relating to parenting, child behaviour, and parental emotion regulation.
Parents Under Pressure and the Family
The programme takes a strengths-based approach where the over-arching aim is to help parents develop positive and secure relationships with their children. As the quality of the care giving relationship improves, parents are able to focus on developing family routines and processes that are age appropriate for their infants and children. Our therapists work with parents to assist them with their understanding of their child’s development while focusing and responding to the child’s emotional needs and in turn improving the manner in which they interact with their child.
Parents Under Pressure and the Parents
The programme aims to improve your relationship with your child/children. It does so by allowing you to explore any pressure you experience as a parent and develops a clear plan regards to managing these. Participating in this programme will allow you to have a look at your own emotional regulation and how this supports your child with developing their own skills. There is a great focus on how to be emotionally available for your child/children and you will see how doing this makes parental life more manageable.
