About the event

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING – PARENTS BUILDING SOLUTIONS

A comprehensive framework for professionals who work with parents. This core training will develop practical tools and strategies that professionals can use with parents in any setting – individuals, couples, families or groups. Parents Building Solutions program is evidence-based and developed by ParentZone, Anglicare Victoria.

“This whole training was fantastic and I have learned a lot. It’s something I will use with the families I work with.” – Family Services Worker

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Engage parents effectively in conversations about their parenting role by using a strengths-based, reflective approach.

Draw on evidence-based materials from the Parents BuildingSolutions manual to respond to the expressed needs of parents.

Articulate a comprehensive framework for parenting based on family values, relationships, and boundaries.

Through individual, family or group work, support parents to:

• Develop known and agreed rules with their family
• Implement appropriate discipline, including the use of known and agreed consequences
• Help children deal with a range of feelings and deal with their own feelings as adults
• Develop appropriate expectations for the age and the developmental stage of the child
• Build positive family relationships and communication
• Support resilience in children
