Flexible, holistic assessment programmes designed to encourage, support and empower parents with the skills to care for their children and themselves in the community.  We encourage parents to take responsibility for their actions and recognise the consequences of their behaviour not only on others but on their children.

Our residential, day and community assessments, and one-to-one assessment sessions are individually tailored to meet the particular needs of families and referral agents.
We have a specialist team who are experienced in working with:

  • Fathers
  • Mothers
  • couples
  • Parents with Learning difficulties
  • Parents with Mental health difficulties
  • Parents who have experienced poor parenting themselves
  • Parents with addiction difficulties
  • Parents were domestic violence is an issue
  • Parents with poor social skills
  • Parents with anger management difficulties
  • Parents with relationship issues
  • First time parents
  • Parents who have children who have experienced non accidental injuries, neglect or abuse
  • Parents with debt

  • Parents with housing problems
  • Parents with epilepsy
  • Parents whose children require ongoing medical support or intervention
  • Parents who have previously been unable to work with professionals
  • Parents with ASBO’s or offenses for violent or threatening behaviours
