Parent Coaching: Training for Professionals Supporting Parents

Parentalk offers Parent Coaching training programmes for professionals
committed to supporting parents. These have been developed in association with The Parent Coaching Academy. In addition to our regular Parent Coaching Workshops,


we also offer tailor-made training programmes for organisations in the public, corporate and voluntary sectors.

Parent Coaching Workshops

The Parent Coaching Workshops are presented by Lorraine Thomas, Chief Executive of The Parent Coaching Academy.

The Parent Coaching Workshops are for professionals who are committed to supporting parents. Teachers, Human Resource Managers, Family Therapists and Counsellors, Educational Welfare Officers, Social Workers, Parent Facilitators, Childcare Specialists, Family and Parenting Charity Representatives and Educational Psychologists have attended our Parent Coaching Workshops and found them very useful.

 

The Workshops are for dynamic individuals who are passionate about the difference they are making in people's lives and motivated to continually develop their professional skill set. They are very practical, hands-on Workshops at which participants will have the opportunity to develop Parent Coaching techniques to complement their existing skills.
