It is even more needed now, since the pandemic has caused may families to be more isolated from the support they might otherwise receive from family and friends. Comment from parents include: ‘The course is great, thank you!’; ‘Thank you. The course has been really useful and I’ve learned many useful things to try. I feel the relationship with my son is improving massively.’; ‘It’s really good to share with others who understand.’ and ‘It’s been nice to know I’m not alone.’ eir next course will be in September 2022, but help with parenting is available before then for anyone who calls. Please phone them to get your name on the waiting list. 023 8020 7623. e o ce is open Monday- Friday 10am-1pm in school term time. At other times an answerphone is available.
