Living with Teenagers
Living with Teenagers is an 9 week group programme offered to parents/carers of young people aged from 12 to 16 years old.
The course is led by trained EPEC (Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities) parent facilitators and aims to support you to manage both your and your teen's feelings, communicate and interact positively with your teen, use positive behaviour management strategies and manage parental stress.
Parents are invited to attend a “coffee morning” a week before the course begins to learn more about the programme.
