Resourcing Parents & Carers: Supporting Children Affected by Domestic Abuse  

“I’ve just competed the 6 week Healing together programme on a 1:1 basis and I can only say good things about it. I have learnt some really good techniques to help regulate my children as well as myself and also some ways to help children understand their emotions. My teacher was just brilliant, she was flexible, knowledgeable and understanding. I also loved the breathing technique she shared with me on each session. A great programme, thank you.  ”

“The parent has been feeling comfortable and confident in the sessions, she is usually highly anxious and was scared, but told me she enjoys attending the group and shared with me the brain hand model information she learnt”

“I would say it’s good as a parent to do this programme to have a better understanding about our children and their feelings. As a parent going through what I experienced, it is hard and confusing and it must be the same for the children too. Before I used to put my feelings first and I would go in and tell them about my feelings without thinking what are they thinking and feeling. Through this training it has helped me to now think about their perspective and what are they feeling too.  This has helped me to support them and help them to feel safer.”

“Ultimately, the Innovating Minds, Healing Together Programme is more than just a course; it's a catalyst for positive change. By learning to manage my feelings and not discussing personal trauma it has gently opened my mind to my own understanding of myself. As parents we pave the way for a brighter future not just for ourselves, but for our children as well. I wholeheartedly recommend this programme to all parents seeking to embark on a transformative journey towards emotional well-being.”
