About the Parents Plus Programmes
Since 1995, Parents Plus has developed eight evidence-based parenting and mental health programmes in collaboration with families and services. We train practitioners to deliver and evaluate these programmes in their organisations and communities, building the capacity of community, mental health, disability, and education services in Ireland and the UK. The programmes offer universal support for all families, preventative solutions for disadvantaged and at-risk families, and targeted interventions for high-need families facing complex challenges.
Parents Plus offer two types of training for professionals who want to deliver our evidence-based parenting and mental health programmes
- Scheduled Training: Open to all practitioners, our scheduled training takes place online throughout the year. These sessions are ideal for individual practitioners or small teams.
- Tailored Training: Tailored for services and agencies, this option allows us to deliver the training directly to your team online or at your chosen location. It includes the same comprehensive content as our scheduled training but can be customised to meet the specific needs of your team.
Both options include access to the full suite of Parents Plus resources, ongoing implementation support, and an opportunity to join the Parents Plus Community of Practice. Read on to explore the eight programmes in more detail or to discuss bringing Parents Plus to your service, please contact Vicki Byrne, Impact Lead at vicki@parentsplus.ie.
