Parental self-care and personal development
Core Component
Ensuring that parents/carers have their mental health, physical and personal needs met is very important. Parents may be unable to meet the needs of their children if they are struggling with their own issues.
Flexible activities include:
- Building confidence and self-sufficiency
- Life skills development and education
- Address parental risk factors
- Counselling
- Support to cope with stress
- Anger management
Activities to support parental self-care range from counselling to addressing parental risk factors. These activities have been delivered in a number of ways including individualised support to group sessions.
