Parenting
Helping parents provide loving, stable families for children
Being a parent can be described as the most important job that you will ever do.
Parenting can be very fulfilling and enjoyable but there are times when it seems a daunting and isolated task, especially whilst coping with the pressure of trying to work through difficult, yet common situations.
We are now running Parent Survival Courses with trained facilitators and have completed three very successful programmes. We have also begun Parent Support sessions for those who wish to continue meeting and discuss further topics in a friendly, informal atmosphere. Download a sample programme.
Please contact us at parenting@mothersunionmanchester.org and we will let you know of a course in your area.

Come along and find out more! On Saturday, September 25th 2010 from 9.30am - 12.30pm at

If you are interested in becoming a facilitator, or if you would like someone to talk to a group in your area, please contact Andrea or Christine at parenting@mothersunionmanchester.org
We would like to run a free course in your community - check here for more information.
Nicola feels that meeting with other parents is very reassuring. "When I have been stressed with the usual parenting issues, I look back over some of the stategies we discussed and this gives me confidence to think, yes, I am doing this right."
