Event description

The Reducing Parental Conflict Programme comprise four Modules and has been designed to upskill practitioners in supporting parents to reduce conflict within their relationship. 
Module 2 explores how to recognise the signs of parental conflict at the early stages.  It highlights how to support parents in finding constructive outcomes which are shown to provide positive lessons for children to learn such skills as negotiation and compromise.  
Module 2 is delivered by Michelle Hayes from Knowledgepool.

Module 3 explores how to discuss parental conflict with parents. It focuses on practising the skills of handling conversations with parents in conflict using tools and techniques to enable parents to resolve destructive conflict with positive outcomes. Module 3 must be taken with Module 2. Module 3 is delivered by Michelle Hayes from Knowledgepool.
