Time Out For Parents

A 5-week course aimed at parents of younger children between about  2 and 10 years old.

"It was so encouraging to see that other people have the same challenges.”

Intimate Encounters

A short 3 week course of two hours per session run with the help of the Family Support Centre.

"We feel much closer and more intimate with each other - sharing and caring more readily."

Parenting Teens

“Help! I’m a parent” is a course which aims to deal with the most common challenges parents of teenagers face.

"I can’t get over the difference it makes just to say less”

Teenage years are times of great change for young people.  For most these changes are exciting and challenging, but for some they cause anxiety and pain.  This Way Up is a registered charity whose aim is to help young people on the difficult journey from childhood to adulthood.
