Spread over 8 weeks this is a great option if you have a very busy schedule and can’t make it to in-person training. You can train from the comfort of your own home and feel relaxed and ready to immerse yourself and learn. We allow an extra week in between some of the larger sessions to ensure you can get adequate practice at home before learning a new skill.
We encourage group sharing and vulnerability in our classes. This allows parents to really get to the heart of their concerns and learn at a deeper level.
Offering a very relaxed & encouraging environment, Parent Effectiveness Training can initiate your families transformation into peace, harmony & less problem time.
