Reducing Parental Conflict - OnePlusOne - Digital Resources Training

Cost: Free course

OnePlusOne are one of the countries leading experts in creating evidence-based early intervention resources to help people build and maintain healthy relationships.

With over 50yrs experience of delivering training programmes and working with professionals across local government, government, charities and businesses this training supports front line practitioners with resources to support when they come across parents in distressed or stressed relationships which impact on the wellbeing of their children.

You will be trained in the use of three digital resources designed to reduce parental conflict with three different audiences:

• Me, You and Baby Too - for new parents
• Arguing better - for parents experiencing stress and conflict
• Getting it Right for Children - for separating or separated parents

Having constructive, supportive relationships has never been more important. These evidence-based resources have been built to help couples strengthen their relationship and manage their conflict better, and to help separated parents understand how conflict can affect their children.
