GBB : 4 Module Programme: 

The Great Behaviour Breakdown is a ground-breaking parenting approach that has helped even the most difficult of family situations find stability and healing. Be supported by a group of parents/carers who understand how difficult parenting can be! The ‘Great Behaviour Breakdown’ technique has helped families find the strategies that they have been looking for after years of ‘trying everything and nothing worked’…NB: This training could change your life!!!

Overall Goals of the Training: Adoptive / foster parents or parents of children with ASD or ADHD or whose children have suffered abuse or trauma require specialist knowledge and skills in order to parent successfully and maintain their own and their children’s emotional and physical well-being.This training programme acknowledges the importance of educating parents to enhance their parenting skills in order to meet their child’s needs adequately. It will help families shift away from anger and blame, frustration, and /or hopelessness into a place of understanding, compassion and love. This training focusses on the parent-child relationship and helps parents/carers create environments for their children which are safe and conducive to building strong love-based attachment relationships.

There is a strong emphasis on taking the material from this course and applying it to the parenting task- putting the principles into action.
