These sessions assist with understanding the child’s unique profile and responding to them in ways that encourage healthy development of skills. Parents are provided with the time and space to speak about their worries and concerns in a truly supportive and compassionate environment. Often, parents manage ongoing difficult behaviours and this can be very fatiguing as well as stressful. Parents have their own mental health needs and these need to be recognised so as to put them in the best position to support their child. Often sessions provide an emotional shift, moving on from feeling overwhelmed to a new feeling of being informed, more confident and ready to act. Every parent needs to be heard and respected.
