CHSCP: Group B/C - iCAN Dads: Working with Primary Male Caregivers

Aim of the course:

This full day, one-to-one parenting resource is practitioner guided. It’s designed for use with Dads and other significant males with caring responsibilities for a child aged up to 18 years of age, and focuses on increasing parenting skills, confidence and self-esteem.

By the end of the course, delegates will:

• understand the role of men and their unique contribution when parenting children,
• have learned how to use the iCAN resource, strategies and tools,
• recognise why some parents lack confidence in their parenting role, and
• will know how to provide individualised family communication plans based on a child’s age and stage of development.
