Training & Support
for Parents
Supporting a young person’s wellbeing often starts at home. JCF provides practical training and support for parents and carers to help them better understand young people’s emotions, behaviour and mental health.
Our parent sessions can include understanding teenage moods, recognising changes in emotional wellbeing, improving communication, responding to challenging behaviour, supporting self-regulation, and using simple tools such as the Mood Map at home.
Training can be delivered through community groups, schools, workshops and parent wellbeing sessions, helping families feel better equipped to support young people before difficulties escalate.
