Emotion Coaching Group for Parents/Carers of Children

This 6-week program assists parents and carers of children (6-12 years) to develop skills to help their children understand and manage their emotions through emotionally responsive parenting.

These strategies help their child develop their emotional intelligence to be able to better communicate about feelings, improve friendships, be more self-regulated, and improve self-confidence. The program is presented in a group format, which is a great environment for new ideas and strategies to be discussed openly.

Duration

The group program runs for 6 weeks. Groups are run regularly, dependent on client numbers.
