Special Parenting Edition and HENRY (Health, Exercise, Nutrition for the really young) - from Dudley Council
30th April 2025
Free courses to help Dudley parents and carers
Triple P is a parenting programme, but it doesn't tell you how to be a parent. It's more like a toolbox of ideas. You and your family choose the ideas you need. You decide the way you want to use them. It's all about making Triple P work for you.
It aims to create supportive family environments, and to prevent, as well as treat, behavioural and emotional problems in children and teenagers.
Starting in May Dudley Council is hosting several free group courses at our Family Hubs. Book now to avoid disappointment.
Please see below the different courses and how they could help your family.
