Parent Conduct Programme

What is Parent Conduct Programme?

The parent conduct programme is a low-level brief guided self-help intervention for parents of children between 2 – 11 years to promote positive behavioural changes.

About Parent Conduct Programme

The aim is to support parents with evidence-based strategies to manage and prevent the escalation of behavioural problems in their child.

How will this service help me?

This intervention aims to help you improve parent-child interactions and the relationship in order to reduce the escalation of behavioural and emotional problems, to break any unhelpful patterns of interaction by establishing a positive, relationship between you and your child. You will learn about your child’s behaviour, including the triggers for challenging behaviour and what reinforces behaviour. This will also help to increase your confidence in interacting with your child.

FAQs

What can I expect? +
An assessment session followed by six sessions covering different topics. You will have the opportunity to practice the skills each week at home and discuss any difficulties in the following session.
Why work with the parent and not the child? +
Parent roles are vital in child development. Parents more likely to be more motivated and engaging in sessions. Parents more likely to put skills into practice. Parents know their children best! Treatment just as effective with parents in shorter space of time.

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
