Listening
All our parent services are informed by the Hand in Hand Parenting approach.
A transformational, evidence-based approach that has nurtured the emotional wellbeing of children and the adults who care for them for over 30 years.
Based on five easy to understand tools, we offer group classes which can have a profound impact on the lives of parents and their families.

Building Emotional Understanding
We deliver the Hand in Hand Foundations class on a rotational basis in response to demand.
Timings vary depending on each cohort so please email alice@warmheartedparenting.com to register interest and find out when the next class will begin.
This is an in-person course for parents / carers / professionals working with children and focuses on emotional support and listening. The class usually runs for six weeks in small groups and includes lifetime access to all the video / audio and classroom materials.
The Foundations class usually costs £260. Help for funding the class may be available through a social work referral or direct payments scheme. Scholarships may also be available.

Creative Workshops
Our bespoke Creative Workshops are based around the Hand in Hand Parenting listening skills but also integrate IFS group work and creative arts.
The Under the Surface programme offered support and a creative outlet for parents in neuro-diverse families and was specifically designed by Alice in collaboration with Belynda Smith, a fellow Hand in Hand Instructor from Meerilinga Services in Perth, Australia. Group facilitators in Shetland were Alice, Sian Wild, Jen Hadfield, Yvonne Tait and Shona Hughson.
Email alice@warmheartedparenting.com for more info about upcoming workshops.

Individualised Support
1-2-1 consultations are available online and in-person.
Consultations are usually £55 for a one-hour session.
A 1-2-1 session can be a great starting point if you are feeling overwhelmed as a parent, don't know where to start or are curious about the Hand in Hand approach.
Sometimes parents who have completed the Foundations class use this as a way to focus on a particular emotional project or issue in their family.
Hand in Hand Parenting offer a range of self-guided courses and sometimes parents like to organise a few consultations to support them as they work through the materials.
Please get in touch if you'd like to speak about what is going to be most useful for you.
