No matter your family setup, the important relationships in your child’s life help shape their emotional health and wellbeing.

This transformative pathway offers a reflective space to think about your child’s development, their behaviour and how they are communicating.

You’ll also learn about the foundations of wellbeing & mental health, how our brains work at different times in our lives and what this means for the way we think and express ourselves in childhood and as adults.
