Parenting Programmes

Parenting Programmes

Plymouth Information, Advice and Support (for SEND) are now accepting requests for Incredible Years, Circle of Security and Strengthening Families Plymouth courses.

PIAS also run parenting workshops for parents and carers periodically. See our latest Workshops.

Plymouth Information, Advice and Support for SEND offer a range of internationally and locally recognised Parenting Programmes that have been shown to work in Plymouth for a wide range of families.

The course you choose will depend on the age of your child and their needs.
