Check back here to see what workshops, courses, resources and jobs we have available to you.
We run short courses (usually 6 weeks) both for young people and parents/carers throughout the year in addition to our 1-2-1 counselling and groupwork sessions. Also, we’ll add resources and job vacancies to this page as they occur.
New Year, Put You First for January 2024
Off The Record 'You First' Course is an 8-week insights programme for parenting in the 21st Century for parents and carers of 11-25 year olds After another successful course in October 2023, we are happy to announce the return of You First for January 2024! You First is a chance to work with our experienced professionals and other parents and carers of young people experiencing similar difficulties and challenges in a safe, therapeutic environment. You gain insights into the experiences of your young person in the 21st century, how the teenage brain develops and self-awareness to gain tailored tools and empowerment to support your young person in the best way you can. People that have attended You First before have said it has really helped them learn about the dynamics between themselves and their young person and helped them to adapt to improve their relationship. Others have found it turns knowledge they already had into tangible action, or that they are empowered to continue with their current parenting style as they understand their young person's challenges better. If this is of any interest to you, please fill out our webform and select 'Parent/Carer Groupwork - You First' as the service option to be added to our waiting list. Courses are run subject to demand - if the course interests you but the day/time does not suit please do sign up so this can be reviewed in the future.
