X attended the Incredible Years parenting group programme and within 6 weeks of the programme was finding new strategies which supported positive changes within the home environment. Working within the group, this parent began to explore some of the early difficulties in their own life and the trauma’s they had experienced.

The parent also managed to utilise the strategies presented in the IY programme to excellent effect. This parent has shown significant changes within the last 6 sessions and is looking forward to continuing the progress with the remaining sessions ahead.
