*NEW Additional Needs Parenting Support*

We have attached here a leaflet introducing our **NEW** 10 week parenting programme! This will be specifically for families who have children with additional needs, facilitated by our fully trained team. You can signpost parents who may be interested or benefit from this parenting support to the team. The ‘Family Links Nurturing Programme’ will cover:

• Understanding why children behave as they do
• Recognising the feelings behind behaviour (ours and theirs)
• Exploring different approaches to discipline
• Finding ways to develop co-operation and self-discipline in children
• Learning the importance of looking after ourselves

If you have any further questions about it then please do contact us in the usual ways, our contact details are on the leaflet. We will set dates once we are able to do so (post COVID and Face to Face!).
