TUSLA is launching an exciting new evidence-based online parenting platform to encourage emotional wellbeing and healthy relationships for Donegal families.
The initiative is a partnership with Togetherness and will provide information about how preventative mental health practices and emotional wellbeing can help keep a strong an healthy family relationship.
The programme helps build resilience, with topics to support parents and carers throughout every stage of a child’s development.
The platform uses the Solihull Approach, drawing on real world experience, and psychological research, to help parents, carers, and professionals understand behaviours and communication.
The programme is free to all parents, carers, grandparents, young people and professionals in Ireland.
It covers antenatal care, early development, special educational needs, adolescent mental health, and trauma.
The inclusive initiative is available in multiple languages and is designed to remove the stigma of looking for help.
Chief Social Worker, Tusla, Ger Brophy commented: “This is a brilliant resource for parents and carers, and it also provides a framework for professionals to understand parents and parenting.
“The language we use and the behaviours we promote should build up emotional wellbeing in parents and encourage parents to build it up in their children.”
