Families Helping Families starts with the recruitment of ‘communities’ of up to eight carers of children with additional needs.
They particularly welcome those whose children are presenting challenging behaviour.
Each community then meets weekly (normally for seven consecutive weeks) for two and a half hours.
An experienced psychotherapist acts as the facilitator of each weekly session and, throughout the programme, carers work together to resource each other with new ideas and strategies and to generate insight into what challenging behaviour means.
