Proactive Parents

Preparing for the Teenage Years.

I’m so delighted you are on this journey with me.

It has been a long-term goal of mine to share my knowledge and experience with parents so it’s great to be finally achieving it.

From years of experience as a counsellor, I have seen the devastating effects alcohol and drug misuse has on families.

I am passionate about supporting parents in building confident relationships with their children. The purpose of this course is to support and educate parents so they can start now with their pre-teen to put in place the skills and tools necessary to navigate the teenage years

Enjoy,

Eileen
