Family Links At Home Training

“We have used behaviour management programmes before, but unlike Family Links’ Nurturing Programmes, they do not focus on emotional regulation and wellbeing, which is paramount to changing behaviour.”

Eve Remington, Practice Lead at Early Help and Prevention Team, City of Bradford MDC

We offer training courses in parenting programmes and approaches that allow practitioners to work professionally, confidently, effectively and safely with parents and children to improve their family relationships and emotional health.

We provide programmes suitable for parents of children from -9 months to 18 years, underpinned by the Nurturing Programme and developing an understanding of behaviour in the context of relationships.
