Our Comprehensive Mental Health Services
Supporting a child with emotional or behavioural challenges can feel overwhelming. Many parents wonder, “Am I handling this the right way?” or “How can I help my child improve?” Our Parental Training Program is designed to answer these questions and give you practical, easy-to-use tools to support your child’s mental health.
This program is a key part of our child and adolescent mental health services, focusing not just on the child, but on strengthening the entire family environment.
What is a parental training program?
A parental training program is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps parents learn effective ways to manage their child’s behaviour, improve communication, and build a stronger relationship.
It is especially helpful for children dealing with:
- Behavioural problems
- Anxiety and stress
- Attention difficulties (ADHD)
- Autism spectrum concerns
- Emotional outbursts or anger issues
Instead of blaming parents, this program empowers you with the right skills to support your child confidently.
Why is parental training Important?
Children learn and grow within their home environment. Small changes in parenting style can lead to big improvements in a child’s behaviour and emotional well-being.
Without guidance, parents may:
- Use inconsistent discipline
- Feel frustrated or helpless
- Struggle to understand their child’s needs
Our program helps you replace confusion with clarity, confidence, and effective strategies.
What will you learn?
Our parental training program focuses on practical, real-life skills you can start using immediately.
The journey is structured to grow with you across ten steps:
Phase 1: Foundations of Understanding (Sessions 1–3)
We begin by bridging the gap between diagnosis and daily life. You will move from “The Boss” to “The Mentor,” learning the “why” behind your child’s behaviour and establishing your family’s core mission.
Phase 2: Essential Skill-Building (Sessions 4–8)
Here, we build your practical toolkit. You will master the art of connection through communication, establish the “fence” of healthy boundaries, and apply behavioural science to manage challenges like discipline, problem-solving, and digital screen time.
Phase 3: Relationship & Self-Care (Sessions 9–10)
The program concludes by focusing on the heart of the home: the bond between you and your child. We recognize that a calm, regulated parent is the foundation for a thriving family, providing you with strategies to manage stress while strengthening your emotional connection.
How the program works
Our parental training sessions are designed to be simple, interactive, and practical.
- Sessions are typically held weekly
- Each session lasts about 60–90 minutes
