Barton House evacuation: information for residents.

We run a range of parenting courses for parents of children aged 3 to 17 years old.

We have courses about:

  • young children
  • children with challenging behaviour
  • children with anxiety
  • teenagers
  • teenagers with aggressive or abusive behaviour or who've been involved in the criminal justice system

These are run by Families in Focus Parenting Team Specialists who are all part of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies or CYP-IAPT. 

This means we deliver accessible and evidence-based parenting services based on principles of participation and collaborative practice.

These courses include:

  • The Incredible Years: for parents and carers of children aged 3 to 10 years with challenging behaviour
