courses
Our courses and events are delivered by Care for the Family licensed facilitators who are parents and carers, just like you.
At Hope for Families, we offer the full range of Time Out for Parents courses, Let’s Stick Together and Left to their Own Devices sessions which are all produced by the national charity - Care for the Family. Each course has two main aims - to help build your confidence as a parent and to equip you to build a strong and lasting relationship with your child.
Throughout the sessions, you will be given tools to help you celebrate the good times and prepare for the challenging times.
We believe that when it comes to parenting, it’s always best to be prepared for whatever is around the corner! Our parent support courses and events are open to everyone of all faiths, views and backgrounds. It is important to us that you feel welcomed and included. Each of our courses can be run in partnership with an organisation such as a school, church or professional agency.
