Research has found that children exposed to parental conflict experience a decline in their mental health and poorer long-term outcomes.

The Reducing Parental Conflict Programme has been designed to upskill practitioners in supporting parents to reduce conflict within their relationship, whether they are together or separated. In turn, they can then improve outcomes for their children.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Practitioners or agencies that have contact with parents either directly, or by working with their children, play an important role in identifying and supporting the reduction of parental conflict. This programme supports practitioners, supervisors, managers and wider agencies in building awareness and developing the confidence, knowledge and skills to work with parents to reduce conflict and drive more positive outcomes.

Module 3: Working with parents in conflict. This skills-based workshop introduces a series of tools that can be used to work with parents, encouraging behaviour change and promoting positive communication.
