Facilitating Groups

At Care for the Family we are passionate about supporting families and couples. To equip people for working in groups with parents or supporting couple relationships we have developed essential high quality training.

“The trainers were fantastic, engaging, knowledgeable, fun, informative and encouraging.”

This 2-day non-residential module is ideal for those in the faith, voluntary and statutory sectors who are working with or hope to work in supporting parents or couple relationship in groups, either formally or informally.

The training is both practical and interactive looking at key evidence based theories, research and also their practical application when working with adults.

This training is foundational in gaining a licence to deliver Care for the Family's courses.
