When participants enter a group learning situation they often express a ‘safe’ purpose or reason for being in the group that mirrors the original and advertised purpose of the program. However, there is often a secondary purpose that underlies this initial purpose. The secondary purpose includes the emotional unease a person experiences and actually motivates them to attend the group. If the person is to fully committed to learning in the group, this secondary purpose needs to be valued, recognised and addressed.

ParentWise Workshops

ParentWise Workshops involve the facilitation of parenting education workshops over a weekend or mid week. Psychoeducational workshops (structured educational group programs that help participants develop knowledge and skills for coping with immediate or potential problems or developmental transitions) target parents in your community.

These events provide an excellent opportunity for community organisations to promote parenting issues and provide access to creative and valuable parenting group work programs.
