Please see the full list of Virtual Parenting Programme available in Bradford East Hub. We have made adaptations to our prevention service, so that we can still support parents with the delivery of evidence based parenting programmes via online groups.
What to expect when attending a course
Attending a course is an opportunity to meet other people and address a range of subjects relating to parenting, growing up and family life. Our courses aim to enhance self awareness, build relationships and learn new strategies from evidence based programmes, to help deal with issues they are currently facing. The benefit of doing the course is that people can support each other, discuss and explore current challenges and solutions.
