• Solihull Approach: Free Training for Parents

  Fri 28 Apr 2023 Bernie Ranzetta

  The local authority have signposted  a range of free online parenting courses for all residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. 

   

  The Solihull Approach courses cover concerns that parents often face with children, from before they are born to early adulthood, including physical and mental health, understanding their feelings and how to build better relationships.

   

  The courses include the same content as you would receive in a typical face-to-face parenting group run by health visitors. They are available in 108 languages, with voiceovers in English and Urdu. Each course has a number of different components, and they can be accessed at any time and any place.

   

  The courses include:

  Understanding pregnancy, labour, birth and your baby

  Understanding your baby

  Understanding your child - 0-19 years 

  Understanding your child with additional needs

  Understanding the impact of the pandemic on your teenager

  Understanding your teenager's brain

  Understanding your brain

  Understanding your child's feelings

  Understanding your child's mental health and wellbeing

  Understanding your relationships

   

  Further courses are currently in development, including a specific course for supporting children and young people with possible neurodevelopmental conditions.

   

  All courses are free to access for anyone with an Leicester City, Leicestershire or Rutland postcode – it just requires users to create an account to access them – and they are available for the next two years.
