YOUR Parent support workshops 

Everyone who has taken part has helped to build this new support service...many thanks to all. We encourage feedback after each workshop, and use this to improve the next workshops.

The following are just a few quotes from previous workshoppers:

Feedback quotes:

• I felt encouraged to continue to parent in difficult circumstances.
• It raised and dignified the business of being a father, raised respect for my role.
• I remember a circular discussion about why we were there. There was a clear interest in finding positive approaches in awkward and difficult (parenting) situations.
• How willing they (especially men) were to drop their guard, show their feelings and share ... many meeting for the first time.
• There was a genuine desire for creative and positive input. This helped us identify what we would take forward in the afternoon."
• The Workshop services a clear need not met by current approach.
  
• The Workshop is of practical value, potential therapeutic value. It is a very healthy thing to do; a healing thing to do.
• It was a powerful experience for those involved...where the people were a bit different at the end, changed in a positive way. They were able to explain to themselves what's going on. A therapeutic day.
• Wow! What a memorable day. And we had a laugh!
• So good to do some really positive work.
• Great time thanks on Saturday.
• Absolutely brilliant! To see how other people saw things, interpreted things, broadened your own ideas.
