Early Years Alliance deliver a range of Therapeutic Parenting Programmes support parents to meet their child’s needs and improve behaviour. Our range of group and 1:1 sessions support parents to build a more positive relationship with their child and help them to understand their behaviour.  We work with parents who are concerned their child may have ADHD, or behaviours that make places and spaces unsafe to be in, or cause serious harm to themselves and others  for children with: 

• serious, high risk or distressing behaviours
• conduct disorders
• oppositional defiance disorder
• and where ADHD is suspected or diagnosed

These programmes include:

• Incredible Years (IY) is a 12-week group programme for parents of children aged 4-11 years delivered both online and in person. IY is delivered face-to-face termly over 12 weeks, often within a school setting to be targeted at the young people who the school identify as needing support. Spaces are offered to families outside of the school cohort as well. IY works with one or both parents to enable positive outcomes for the child/young person.
• Therapeutic Parenting Support (TPP) is a 6-week group programme for parents of children aged 4-11 years supporting parents to build a more positive relationship with their child. 
• Personalised Individual Parent Training (PIPT) is an intensive 6-week 1-1 programme for parents of children aged 4-8 years.  This programme works with the child/young person as well as one or both parents. It is designed to use the IY strategies to promote a positive relationship between the child/young person and the parent by reducing the oppositional/emotional dysregulation behaviour and increasing pro-social behaviour and compliance.
• Guided Self-Help (GSH) is a 6-week 1-1in-depth support working with one or both  parents and works on themed extracts from IY to fit the individual needs of the child/young person.

• Incredible Years Autism & Language Delay Parenting Programme

  Starting: Tuesday 25th February 2025 10am – 12 noon

  The Camelot Centre, 50 Meliot Road, SE6 1RY

   

  Parents of children with Autism face a multitude of uncertainties, ranging from navigating social situations to managing sensory sensitivities and addressing communication barriers. Each day can bring unique hurdles, requiring parents to adapt and learn alongside their children.

  This 14–16 session programme is offered to parents of young children (aged 4-9) on the Autism spectrum or with language delays, and will help to improve

  • Social skills
  • Emotional regulation
  • Behaviour and anger management
  • Parental stress, depression, and anxiety

• Systemic Family Practice support is also now available. Systemic Family Therapy focuses on the whole family unit rather than an individual. Considering generational, community and cultural factors and sensitive to gender, ethnicity and social context, the systemic approach takes the spotlight away from the child or young person’ ‘having’ or being ‘ the problem’ and locates the discussion within the whole family system.

‘Parents and their young people benefit from a bespoke and flexible service with an opportunity to explore their parenting and how it affects family life. Parents have identified family scripts, gained insights into how their children feel and react to them and reconnected with their care giving. The level of depth that is reached through the therapy enables deep change and makes changes sustainable. Family members identify the change they see, and it is embedded’.
