The Incredible Years/Webster
Stratton
Created by Caroline Webster Stratton, an American
clinical psychologist used and researched for 20 years, this is an early
intervention programme for parents of children under 10. The programme encourages parents to build
strong relationships with their children through play and rewarding positive
behaviour. It strengthens communication and enables parents/carers to
understand the developmental stages of the child.
After completing the course parents will have a range of
tools from which to choose including; effective limit setting, time-out,
handling consequences and problem–solving.
This programme is appropriate for all families including
those with young people with a diagnosis of ADHD or ODD.
Living with Children/Living with Teenagers
The courses are offered as part of the Suffolk Community
Learning Adult Education Programme and are accredited with the Open College
Network. The course is open to any
parent or guardian of a child or teenager who would like to develop their
skills and knowledge. Parents can enrol
themselves or agencies can make referrals on their behalf. The course offers parents a chance to develop
their skills and learn some new ideas. The course covers understanding
children’s needs and parent’s needs, recognising different styles of parenting,
developing skills in a positive communication style, listening skills and ways
to support children’s self esteem, positive strategies for managing behaviour
and setting limits. Participants will
also be able to receive information about other learning opportunities they may
wish to go on to.

Caring Dads
Developed
in Canada, is an intervention programme for fathers
(including biological, step, common-law) who have physically abused,
emotionally abused or neglected their children, or exposed their children to
domestic violence or who are deemed to be at high-risk for these behaviours.
It consists of a 17-week, empirically-based, manualised group parenting
intervention for fathers, systematic outreach to mothers to ensure safety and
freedom from coercion, and ongoing, collaborative case management of fathers
with referrers and with other professionals involved with men’s families. The
group component of Caring Dads combines elements of parenting, fathering,
battering and child protection practice to enhance the safety and well-being
of children. Programme principles emphasize the need to enhance men’s
motivation, promote child-centred fathering, address men’s ability to engage
in respectful, non-abusive co-parenting with children’s mothers, recognize
that children’s experience of trauma will impact the rate of possible change,
and work collaboratively with other service providers to ensure that children
benefit (and are not unintentionally harmed) as a result of father’s
participation in intervention. Run by team of male and female facilitators.
