Online parenting courses
FREE NHS Solihull Approach online parent guides
The NHS Solihull Approach online courses are designed to increase the confidence of parents-to-be, mums, dads, grandparents, and carers. NHS experts and parents have developed them through an evidence-based model known as the Solihull Approach.
There are numerous courses for parents and carers that cover from the antenatal period through to parenting teenagers. There are also courses for adults on topics including understanding relationships and trauma, for teenagers including understanding your brain and feelings, and courses for professionals including understanding attachment and trauma.
All the courses can be completed flexibly, at your own pace. Each of the course modules takes around 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Each course contains several modules.
All the courses are FREE for Warwickshire residents using the access code BEAR.
