We are a Colchester-based company that works to support children, young people, parents, professionals, and organisations. To date, our main activities has been the delivery of a range of parenting groups/workshops, young people’s workshops, one to one parent coaching and professional parent programme training. We have supported parents, young people, and professionals on all aspects of parenting i.e., ADHD, self-harm, tantrums, positive discipline, managing the teenager years and separation issues.
