Take 3 Parenting Programme aims to improve relationships between young people and their families and to improve young people’s behaviour at home, at school and in the wider community. To achieve these aims, the course equips parents/carers with skills and strategies to:
- nurture their young people by encouraging them, connecting with them and listening to them
- provide appropriate structure and boundaries for their young people
- take care of themselves so that they have more energy for their job of parenting and can also model self-respect to their young people.
Young people behave better when they feel understood, when they have parents who are able to set authoritative boundaries, and when their parents value themselves.

TAKE 3 Parenting Group will be delivering small group sessions in Brecon in September, Llandrindod in January, and Ystradgynlais in April - they consist of discussion with other parents, input from experienced workers, and tried and tested video and other resources, to help parents understand and respond appropriately to difficult teenage behaviour.
Attached is a referral form and general information. T3P are currently taking referrals for the Brecon group beginning in September 2015. They also take self-referrals and the group is open to foster carers, and any family ( aunts, uncles, grandparents) members involved in caring for or parenting teenagers.
Any referrals can be emailed directly to Julia Stanmore-Cook and she will be happy to contact any parents who may want to have a chat before they agree to a referral.
