Support for Parents and Carers

We are here to support you. We understand what you may be experiencing and we can help.

Are you being hurt by your child?

We recognise it is extremely difficult when family relationships begin to breakdown and when violence and abuse is being used in the home, especially by your child. It can be really difficult to talk to professionals and challenging to access support.

The YP Project can work with you as a parent/carer in giving you the tools and support you need to de-escalate situations in a healthy way and repair and reconnect with your child again. Using the Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) approach, we focus on your self-care, prioritising behaviours, de-escalation, communication and more.

Contact The YP Project today and we can provide you with further information that is tailored and relevant to your family.
