| Summary | Good parenting is regarded as "fundamental for the development of a child's mental health and well-being" (The Mental Health of Young People: A Framework for Promotion, Prevention and Care, Scottish Executive, 2005) and the field of work with parents is growing, indicative of the increased importance parenting has achieved, not only the national, but international health agendas. This course aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to incorporate the principles, values and practices of parent management and systemic work into their workplace. It aims to enable participants to increase and consolidate their theoretical and clinical skills and their understanding of the use of parenting and systemic interventions in practice.
The course will cover:
- Theories underpinning parenting and systemic work.
- Application of these theories into clinical practice.
- Understanding the roles of children and parents in the family context.
- Presenting problems for which parenting and systemic work is commonly used.
- Evidence supporting parenting and systemic work.
- Group based approaches for parenting work, with a focus on group therapy processes (including dealing with resistance and empowering parents).
